The U16 Program is for alpine skiers ages 14 and 15 as of 12/31/25. This is the first year the athletes compete as “scored” competitors. Athletes can earn USSS seed points based on race results and are seeded in start lists based on points rankings.
 

U16 athletes new to our program must have a USSS race profile with one or more seasons of racing history or training with a structured racing program.  

Athletes must be evaluated by the Blue Mountain coaching staff to enroll in the U16 program. 

​

Athletes are responsible for maintaining an active US Ski and Snowboard membership and away race costs, including race fees, lift tickets, travel, and lodging. 

 

These athletes compete on challenging racecourses on difficult terrain.​ Athletes are expected to compete in Eastern PA Regional Races and are eligible to be invited to the PA State Championships.

 

Seeding and Scoring ​will be based on World Cup points in addition to seed points determined by races and US Ski and Snowboard. 

 

State Team 

The number of males and females that will make up the U16 State Team is based on post-season race quotas. The U16 will be eligible for U16 Eastern Championships and U16 Eastern Finals.
