Program Philosophy and Goals
The BBSEF offers Alpine and Freeride participants the opportunity to achieve
their highest potential as athletes and competitors while keeping the training
sessions fun and full of energy.
Our main concern is the development of the athlete as a whole.
Winning events is secondary to instilling a good work ethic, self-esteem
and enthusiasm. Sustained interest
in the program is best served by cultivating a supportive team environment based
on mutual respect as well as self-motivation.
The BBSEF is a program for ages 6-18 who want to compete in alpine ski racing
and freeride skiing.
The BBSEF is an organization dedicated to providing top level coaching to
athletes. Participants primarily
range from high school age and younger.
In addition, we also have adult groups.
These participants compete as members of the Bogus Basin Ski Team.
The primary function of the BBSEF is to promote good citizenship, with the
emphasis on training in athletics and physical fitness.
The program includes training sessions both on and off the hill, which
promote activities to improve the individual's capabilities for skiing, racing
and competing. These activities
encompass general fitness training, on snow drills, gate training, freeride
training, demonstrations, race rules, athlete responsibility and sportsmanship.
The BBSEF will promote amateur athletics and competition throughout the
community to better represent the sport of alpine skiing.
