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).

Amanda Cozzaglio

Amanda started at Bousquet in September, 2022.

She was born and raised in the Berkshires and currently resides in Pittsfield. She loves to be outside in the summer months hiking the various trails we have to enjoy, biking on the Rail Trail or kayaking anywhere there is water. Although she enjoys the warm weather over the cold, she is excited to appreciate the winter beauty on a whole other level and brush up on her skiing skills!

When Amanda is not working, she thoroughly enjoys spending time with her family (mainly her 5 nephews and 1 sweet little niece 😊)

Yaron’s been in the Snowsports industry for 20 years, starting out as an instructor at Hunter Mountain. He leveled up with his Level 3 PSIA certification, then headed out west for a bit. Now he’s back east and has been our Operations Manager since the summer of 2023! He’s all about sharing his passion for the sport and making sure everyone enjoys their time on the snow.

Originally from Westchester County, NY, he’s now hanging out in the Berkshires, and if he’s not on the slopes, he’s probably biking around the hills (especially in the summer).
