The Pleasant Mountain Race Team is the operating arm of the Shawnee Peak Alpine Educational Foundation Inc., a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit alpine education program that provides training and racing opportunities with professional coaches for alpine skiers of all levels from ages 6-20. (Note we run separately from both Pleasant Mt. Ski Area and the Pleasant Mt. Race Dept.)

We offer quality alpine ski training opportunities in a traditional family mountain setting. As a USSA-affiliated program, we provide competition opportunities and training at the most elite level of the sport such as FIS and USSA events. Our 40-day training calendar typically starts the weekend after Thanksgiving, and ends in late March, early April. Our goal is to bring a rigorous but balanced approach to alpine ski racing.

If you bring the energy and dedication, we will provide the guidance. Your alpine racing future starts with us!

Step-Up/Tryout Day March 22nd - Winter 2025

Sign up here to attend Step Up Day 2025 This is specifically for those who have already signed up as potential new athletes interested in joining PMRT next season so be sure to sign up for that program first! (Current athletes do not need to sign up here.)

Note, this is a learn to race program, not a learn to ski program. Athletes and families should be dedicated to the program's time commitment, race equipment requirements AND volunteer requirements. Potential athletes should have sound skiing fundamentals and be able to ski the whole mountain. This web site has tons of information, but please feel free to reach out if you have additional questions!
