About the Ski Team
Our Mission Statement
The Hidden Valley Ski Team is an independent, not-for-profit organization that provides
alpine ski race training and coaching to St. Louis metropolitan area children, ages 5 to
19. We are self-funded and although Hidden Valley Ski Resort in Wildwood, Missouri is
the primary location for our local training and is very supportive of the team, the team is
not affiliated with the resort.
Our purpose is to help each team member improve their skills, to learn how to enjoy the
sport of alpine ski racing, and to translate that enjoyment and skill into a competitive
environment. We focus on developing strong fundamental skiing skills, teaching the
technical and psychological aspects of alpine racing, and providing a positive
environment. We also instill in our athletes how to build self confidence, self discipline,
be part of a team, and how to practice goods sportsmanship. We firmly believe these
attributes of personal integrity, along with their experiences of skiing itself, will be
instilled in these young people for their entire lives.
We pledge to provide a fun and safe environment in which each member can pursue
and achieve their personal goals in this sport. We will do our best to support each
athlete’s desire to achieve advanced levels of alpine racing through local training and
opportunities to compete in regional and national events while maintaining prudent
fiscal stewardship.
We value fun, team spirit, parental involvement, communication, good sportsmanship
and mutual respect. We rely on all three segments of our team (athletes, parents and
coaches) to work together to make our team a rewarding experience for everyone. Our
commitment to the Hidden Valley Ski Team is made through each person’s individual
Code of Ethics Pledge.
