The Berkshire East Ski Team (Competitive Level)
Athletes on the Berkshire East Ski Team usually compete in United States Ski Association Tri State events and/or with their school teams. Training activities are based on preparation for these events.
BEST groups meet every Saturday and Sunday from opening day until mid-March. We also try to have training on all school holidays and vacation days. Training sessions are two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. Starting times and schedule varies according to activities. Training time is split 50/50 for skill development and gate training. Athletes not skiing in USSA events may find an occasional Sunday when no coaches are at the mountain.
The focus of BEST is on Tri State USSA events and school competitions. BEST provides coaching support at all Tri State level events. There are athletes who will qualify for USSA regional events beyond the T/S level. USSA requires all athletes to be represented by a coach at each event. The cost of travel and availability of coaches limits our ability to provide coaching support beyond the T/S level. If Berkshire East does not provide a coach to a regional event payment for services and reimbursement for all expenses for that coach are required.
