Alpine

The Alpine Ski Racing Program offered by MMSC

The word “Stowe” is synonymous with ski racing. Since skiing first began on Mt. Mansfield, the mountain has produced many of the fastest ski racers in the world - and most of these racers have trained with MMSC.

The coaches and staff of MMSC follow the success stories of our current athletes and alumni with great pride and honor. Maybe it’s because many of them started training with us when they were just young kids. By the time racers grow up and move on, they are considered members of the MMSC/MMWA family.
