About the Race Program

The clubhouse is located at the base of Bromley Mountain in Southern Vermont where storage and organization of the alpine events is held. When hosting an event and or training the athletes are stationed on East Meadow or Lords Prayer. Both of these trails are where many alpine competitions are hosted yearly.
The clubs oldest competitors (U21-U16), compete in the Vermont Alpine Racing Association (VARA); as well as, a select few individuals per qualification standards are able to compete in the FIS circuit.
