Give Ski Racing a Try!

All young skiers, ages 6 to 8, who are new to ski racing or new to Mt. Hood Race Team, first participate in a Mitey Mite Learn to Race session. These sessions are designed to introduce young skiers to the sport and prepare them for the race team. The young skiers must be accompanied by a parent or adult during training. Coaches will assess each young skier’s level and recommend to parents the best MHRT program to join.

New racers ages 9 to 12 may also participate in one or more Learn to Race session, or they may directly join the Race Team. Skiers who are excited to continue racing and want to join the Race Team can apply the Learn to Race fee toward the appropriate regular season Mitey Mite Program. Learn to Race racers have the option to participate in local Mitey Mite races.
