Welcome!
Quality alpine ski training and coaching is perceived to be the exclusive domain of our northern New England neighbors. Yet, we understand through proper scheduling, creative facility usage and age appropriate training schemes that we can provide an exceptionally upbeat, positive and accelerated learning opportunity for your young athlete right here in the greater Boston area. We are committed to offering a team environment, which generates pride in participation. Whether just beginning as a new racer or aspiring toward a faraway dream, we will strive to meet your needs. We want your athlete to be excited, motivated and looking forward to their next day of skiing. You have our commitment. We’re glad to have you with us! Where
President's Message
Wachusett Mountain Race Team is a non-profit parent operated program. We have operated and maintained a strong fiscal budget coming into this season which allows us to attract and retain excellent coaches as well as invest in communications, fencing, timing and the necessary equipment to insure that our coaching staff and racers are equipped with the best ski racing technology we can possibly provide. Safety for our racers is our utmost concern. Therefore, we ask all parents to become actively involved in supporting the team and improving our ability to sustain an outstanding program. You do not have to be a skier to volunteer! As a demonstration of our success and commitment the kids posted some great results in the 10/11 season. WMRT had athletes from all age groups (J1/J2, J3, J4, J5) qualify for Post Season events, competing in J1/J2 Finals, Tri-State Championships, J3 Finals, J4 Future Stars, The CanAm Invitational and the Piche’ Invitational. Our facilities play a vital role in our ability to run our race program. At Wachusett Mountain, we have the best in the region! The Crowley family and all the staff at Wachusett Mountain continually support and assist WMRT and without their commitment, our program would not be possible. The members of the WMRT Board of Directors volunteer their time and energy to all the racers, coaches and the program in general and without their dedication, WMRT would not be the race program that it is today! We are a tight knit community. We look forward to seeing our old friends again this season and welcoming any newly joining families. Ski fast, be safe and have fun! Mark McCaughey, President Our Program Mission
Head Coach Message
We hope to have another banner year of snow to train, race and free ski throughout New England and of course, at our awesome home Wachusett Mountain. I look forward to focusing on excellent sportsmanship, individual triumphs and Team results this season. We will explore a variety of training drills, on and off snow strength building and agility. During the season you will learn how to improve your times and overall best. We have a strong WMRT coaching staff and support to aid in all your needs and we will work as a group to come together and have a lot of successes and fun. Whether you are a first-timer or seasoned racer, we will strive to keep the excitement of the Sport and passion, which lead you to want to develop your personal best and reach your potential. The diversity of level helps us all to be constant teachers and learners as we cheer on our teammates who compete in their first race or others who prepare for the Junior Olympics or US Nationals. I would like to thank everyone for your overwhelming support. The Board, the Mountain, the Parents and the Coaches have expressed their best wishes, and I strongly believe that we, as a team, can make another memorable season! Have a great racing season and think snow!! Thom Norton, WMRT Head Coach |
