Alpine Racing Equipment 

Picture
​Athletes need to secure the following equipment: slalom race skis and bindings; boots; poles with pole guards; alpine race helmet; shin guards; warm winter outdoor clothing, basic ski tuning supplies (edge tuning system, wax, iron, scraper).
  • Optional equipment as athletes improve and they become more competitive: gs suit (to enhance aerodynamics), additional tuning equipment/waxes.   
  • Used race equipment is available on select weekends during September and October when local ski teams hold “ski swaps” at their home ski areas (see Meetings and Events for the latest postings).  
  • Certain local ski shops offer deeper discounts to MAST athletes on new equipment when purchased in September and through mid-October.  Contact one of the MAST coaches for more information on upcoming ski swaps and the discounts available at twin cities ski shops.   
  • MAST coaches and parents hold tuning seminars to help you learn how to keep your edges sharp and bases waxed.
