Dear ski racing parents,

The supporting role you play in your child’s ski racing enjoyment as success cannot be understated. It is an admittedly difficult task to understand all the ins and outs of the sport, from the best ways to develop young ski racers to selection methods, choosing which races to go to and knowing what equipment to buy.

While the list of questions is long, the time to get them answered is often short, and that is why we are offering free parent webinars for USSA parents to learn how to better support your child while gaining a better understanding of ski racing. A webinar will be offered for each region, so that you can ask questions specific to your area and get the answers you need. USSA Sport Education Director Jon Nolting will talk about sport parenting and ski racing development, and your regional alpine staff will give an overview of the programs in place in your area for your skiers. This will be followed with time for Q&A. Can’t make the live webinar? They will be recorded and made available online afterwards.

To join the webinar live or view the recorded versions go here. 

Webinar schedule:
Rocky/Central – Thursday, January 29, 10:30-11:30am MST
East – Monday, February 2, Noon-1:00pm EST
West – Wednesday, February 4, 1:00-2:00pm MST

We hope you’ll join us! If you have any questions, please contact USSA Sport Education.

Sincerely,

Jon Nolting
USSA Director of Sport Education
