Welcome to the Bogastow Ski Team

The Bogastow Ski Team welcomes new members. The team gives young skiers of all ages an opportunity to train and compete in slalom and giant slalom courses against skiers from other local clubs.  Bogastow competes in the Eastern Massachusetts Buddy Werner League.  No prior race experience is required; however, skiers must be able to get on and off a chair lift unassisted and ski the terrain at Nashoba Valley safely and with a degree of comfort

The 8 & under race course is gentle with the emphasis on fun.  The 9 & older skiers compete on more competitive courses with the emphasis on improving skills and successful course completion.Skiing BFFs

Where and when…

The team trains at Nashoba Valley in Westford on Wednesdays from 6:00-8:00 p.m., mid-December through February.  Racers over 9 years old train every Wednesday; racers 8 and under train may train every other Wednesday.
