Mission: Valuing potential in all; developing skills for excellence in alpine ski racing.
Vision: Creating lifelong skiers and exceptional citizens.
Picture
 Minneapolis Alpine Ski Team (MAST) is open to Minneapolis Public School  students in grades 7 through 12 who would like to be part of a MPS high school alpine ski team.   All ability levels are welcome.  Learn to ski. Learn to race.    
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. You will get to participate in fun and informative pre-season events that will allow you to meet the great athletes and adults involved with MAST and to learn more about the sport and our team.
  2. If new to ski racing, we need time to educate you about the sport.   For instance, you need to learn about racing boots and skis and protective equipment and why you need them, how to size them, and where to purchase them at affordable prices. Equipment matters and the best time to find used (and therefore less expensive equipment) is in September and early October.   
  3. We will be holding both TEAM and INDIVIDUAL fundraising events starting on Labor Day.  By taking advantage of these opportunities, you bring down the cost of participating for yourself and your teammates. 
  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.
