MAST Registration Is OPEN!

Registration for MAST is now OPEN.  The registration process is a two-step process.  The first step is to register with MAST.  The second step is to register with your high school athletic department.  If you know that you want to race for your high school alpine ski team, you are invited to register now with MAST.  Please click HERE TO START THE TWO STEP REGISTRATION PROCESS.
Prospective Alpine Athletes and Families
Alpine ski racing is a sport that requires a lot of advanced preparation before a person can get on snow to ski.  If you THINK that Alpine might be the sport that you want to try this winter, the coaches strongly encourage you to take a deep look at MAST now rather than later.  Why? 
  1. Participate in fun and informative pre-season events.
  2. If new to ski racing, we need time to educate you about the sport: the race equipment you need, how races are run, training and race schedule, costs, transportation. 
  3. Participate in TEAM and INDIVIDUAL fundraising events.  
  4. The roster might fill.  We have rostered over 100 students the last three years and we can't take too many more than that.  If you delay your decision making process, the open roster spots we currently have might fill.
Here is how you can become informed and active now.   
  • Read the MAST FACT SHEET.
  • Fill out the NEW ATHLETE CONTACT INFORMATION FORM.   You and your parents or guardians will receive all MAST communications going forward.    
  • ​Sign up for the TEAM and INDIVIDUAL Fundraisers as they happen through the Fall.
  • Give us a call or send an email if you have immediate questions.  Click HERE for contact information.
