Welcome!
The new season is just around the corner - our favorite time of year!

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
We ski and train at Wachusett Mountain Ski Area. Wachusett offers modern high speed lifts, state of the art snowmaking, and complete skier services. Being the closest big mountain to Worcester, Boston & Providence, Wachusett’s convenient location makes it easy to reach for training sessions and races. With Wachusett as our home, you’ll love being a part of our team. Come see why.

President's Message
Welcome parents, racers and coaches to the 2011/2012 WMRT race season. WMRT is comprised of great families, dedicated ski racers and committed coaches. It is wonderful to have everyone back and we welcome all of you that are new to our race team family.

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
The Wachusett Mountain Race Team will provide excellent programs, coaching, competition and support in a cost and time effective manner. Our primary focus is to develop strong base level skills to allow the skiers to competently participate at USSA club level races while promoting self-esteem, good sportsmanship, and team cooperation. The WMRT skier will develop a long-term enjoyment of the sport along with competitive and technical skills to enable them to compete at a collegiate level if so desired.

Head Coach Message
Welcome to the 2011-2012 Wachusett Mountain Race Team! I look forward to great season of skiing, racing, skill building and fun!

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
