Skiing in College Q & A

By -

Hi Skiers!  This is an amazing opportunity coach Meghan organized for us!  All of you should attend no matter what grade you are in!

 On Friday, March 5th Laramie High School and the United States Collegiate Ski & Snowboard Association (USCSA) will be hosting a virtual meet and greet for high school athletes interested in skiing in college.  This is a fairly informal, open event meant to connect athletes with college teams and open them to opportunities to continue skiing. Please help us spread the word and attract athletes to this event!


The meeting will take place from 6-7 PM over Zoom. College coaches and/or athletes from University of Wyoming, Colorado State University, Western Colorado University, and Colorado Mesa University will share information about their teams and answer athlete questions. The event will be recorded for any athlete unable to attend.

Please forward this opportunity along via email to any team or organization you think may be interested, and help us by advertising the event on your social media pages. This is an open event, so feel free to share meeting information including the Zoom link. We want to be able to reach all the high school skiers we can- regardless of their experience level.  The USCSA has opportunity for competition and improvement for skiers at every level. It is a great way for our athletes to improve as skiers, travel (COVID-permitting) and develop a community of life-long friends.

At this meeting, we will address questions including:
-What schools can I ski for?
-Is it hard to be a college athlete?
-How good of a skier do I have to be to ski in college? 
-Can I get funded?
-What opportunities can skiing give me? 
-Can I ski in college even if I plan to compete in another sport?
-Any question an athlete may have, whether about skiing in general or for a specific team
 

Athletes, parents, coaches and anyone else interested can attend the event using this Zoom information:
