Bogus Basin Ski Education Foundation

The Bogus Basin Ski Education Foundation is a program for ages 6 and over who want to compete in alpine ski racing and freeride skiing/snowboarding. As an organization dedicated to providing top-level coaching to athletes, participants are primarily high-school age and younger. We have adult groups as well. 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 with activities to improve the individual's capabilities for skiing, racing and freestyle. These activities encompass general fitness training, on snow drills, gate training, mogul training, aerial training, demonstrations, race rules, athlete responsibility, and sportsmanship. Our focus is the development of the athlete as a whole. Winning events is secondary to instilling a good work ethic, self-confidence and enthusiasm. Athletes, parents, and coaches recognize that sustained interest in the program is best served by cultivating a supportive team environment based on mutual respect as well as self-motivation. BBSEF offers a variety of Alpine and Freestyle/Freeride "Team Shred" programs for ages 6 and older.
