Our Tristate program is a fantastic opportunity for athletes who are excited to dive into a race-centered journey and also for those who are eager to ramp up their racing skills even more.
This is a program that requires some dedication, both in terms of time and resources. We expect our athletes to be present at every weekend practice.
Our Tristate program includes our annual 3-day Holiday Camp! It’s the perfect opportunity to make the most of your winter break and enjoy awesome skiing adventures.

program description
Welcome to Tristate, the ultimate culmination of the Bousquet Racing experience for athletes aged 10-18 years. Our teams, including U12, U14, U16, and U18+, are dedicated to advancing alpine racing skills and fostering personal growth. With a holistic coaching philosophy that prioritizes both fun and proper technique, we provide comprehensive gate training. Whether you’re an experienced racer or a skilled skier looking to develop your racing abilities, our program is designed for you.
As part of Tristate, athletes can expect to travel and compete against some of the region’s top skiers on most weekends throughout the season. Our coaching staff will be there every step of the way, accompanying athletes and parents to races and working closely with each athlete to address their individual goals. While our main focus is USSA regional competitions, we also offer FIS level support when appropriate.
Bousquet has a rich tradition of producing U.S. Ski Team and FIS level athletes, and our program is tailored to help you achieve your goals. Join us at Tristate and let’s make your racing dreams a reality!
Training:
- Weekend-based training (Saturday and Sunday) starting December 14, 2024, weather permitting.
- Emphasis on USSA’s Long Term Athlete Development Model (LTAD).
- Customized progression plans for athletes, maximizing their long-term potential and enjoyment.
- Holistic approach with a mix of approximately 20-45% directed free skiing, 20% drill-based, 25-40% gate training, and 10-20% competition simulation (based on athlete’s development phase).
Membership:
At the Tri-State level athletes will be required to hold a current USSS “alpine competitors” membership (U.S. Ski and Snowboard) and TSASRA (Tri-State Alpine Ski Racing Association) membership. When registering with USSS, you must designate Bousquet Race Team as your affiliate program. Your Tri-State membership will be processed automatically once you have designated your Club.
