Ages and Classes of Racers

To join the club, a skier must: (1) be 7 years of age by December 31. (2) be able to get on and off the chair lift without assistance; and (3) have at least one year of good skiing under his or her belt.

USSA has established the following age groupings for purposes of competition:

* Indicates seeded competition.

For purposes of training, WPRC generally adheres to the age groupings, with coaches assigned to particular classes (e.g. a J-IV coach). However, depending on the relative abilities of the racers, the coaching staff may permit some racers to train with a class more suited to the racer’s development. Any questions about a racer’s training group should be addressed to the head coach. Male and female racers train together, but compete separately.
