Calendar
Equipment Requirements and Recommendations
Helmets - Ski Helmets are required at all times during on snow activity.
-
2019/2020 - USSA Races Only - Read FIS Helmet Requirements for USSA races Here.
Helmet - Required
Mouth Guard - Recommend but not required!
Goggles – Required - Clear goggle lens during night practices and tinted for day practice.
Skis – Best Practice: One pair of GS and SL skis, and a pair of all around skis (Twin Tips) to keep the race skis in top shape.
-
New Athletes: Begin with one pair of SL skis, and progress to the second pair of GS skis as your Athlete improves.
Forearm and Shin Guards – Ask a coach when they are needed. Generally, if your athlete is beginning to clear gates, these guards are needed. Generally not needed for Introductory Athletes.
Back Protector - Ask a coach when a back protector is needed. Usually only needed for high speed athletes.
Socks - One pair of medium or light wool socks recommended. Cotton holds moisture and make feet cold.
Helmet Liner - (Balaclava) For extremely cold days or when snow making is in progress.
Race Suit - Race suits can improve race times, but are not required. Many families choose to wait until the Athlete is regularly attending race events. Ask a coach!
Zip Off Ski Pants - These are designed to be worn over race suits and allow removal without exiting boots. Usually only needed for regular racers, and do NOT need to match the Team Jackets.
-
Equipment should be of good quality and checked for safety, especially the ski bindings. Please note, our coaches are not certified ski technicians!
-
The coaching staff conducts Parent clinics on for ski tuning, or use the HVST Tuning Service.
-
Advice on specific equipment can be obtained from the Head Coach–please do not over buy equipment, which may hinder skiing progress of your Athlete.
