Help Support the 2023 Penn Ski Team!

Hi, we're the Penn Ski & Snowboard Team!

Since our founding, the Penn Ski & Snowboard Team has been the only student organization for skiiers at Penn! We compete annually in the USCSA Atlantic Highlands division in both Alpine and Freestyle, and have had many successes. This year, all of our Alpine Teams, plus our Women's Freestyle Team, qualified for Regionals and we were excited to send one of our racers on to Nationals!

In addition to our successful competitive season, this team has been a home for many of us, and the place in which we have found some of our closest friends. Our weekend trips, social events, and community services projects help us form a tight knit team of student athletes and build bonds that will last a lifetime.

Skiing is an unusually expensive sport, and the team's programming and trips are often limited by our budget. This year, USCSA raised their competition fees an unprecedented amount; competition fees and lift tickets made each weekend trip about 75% more expensive than it was last year. Penn has unfortunately not supplied funding to cover these cost increases. Additionally, we worked hard to not cut or cap any of the weekends, and are aiming to do the same next year. However, in order to help us balance our budget, we are asking for help from you, our community! We would also like to be able to support new initiatives, such as subsidized dues for FGLI members and increased support for members traveling across the country to Nationals. If you or your friends and family have valued Ski Team in their lives, we ask that you give whatever you can to help support the team.

Thank you so much,

2023 Penn Ski & Snowboard Team Officers
