• The SRT club provides kids with introduction opportunity to Alpine Ski Racing.

• The team's objective is to provide children and teens alpine ski racing coaching based on age, level of experience, and skiing skills. Tho SRT is an independent club from Sundown Mountain, our coaches pick-up where Sundown's Learn to Ski Program ends.

• SRT is one of 8+ teams competing in Wijara, Wisconsin Illinios/Iowa Alpine Junior Racing Association, boasting teams from Wisconsin, Illinios, Iowa, all the way South to Hidden Valley, in Saint Louis, Missouri. The Wijara League consists of eight other teams: Chestnut Mountain, Tyrol Basin, Cascade Mountain, Snowstar, Hidden Valley, Blackhawk, Four Lakes, and Wilmot.
   
• Each season Wijara schedules four weekend events: two in January and two in February. Weekend races typically have upwards of 550 racers. The races are held at Sundown, Chestnut, Cascade, and Tyrol Basin.
   
• SRT sends eight coaches to every Wijara race.  As the second largest team in the league, with 95+ athletes competing,
   
• Our coaching staff ensures that the team is well organized and supported throughout each race day.  Coaching staff are on hand to provide guidance and strategy thru out each race day, helping racers and parents with course inspection, communicate start times, calm competition nerves at the start, monitor the finish area, and assist with questions or timing issues. A parent or guardian must attend the race, collaborating with their children on lift tickets, food, free skiing in between race runs, schedules, transportation, and lodging needs. 
   
• Wijara Competitions: On Saturday, teams compete in one day of Giant Slalom (GS), and one day of Slalom (SL) on Sundays. The weekend events are fun outdoor competition opportunities for kids and parents alike. In addition to ski racing, the weekend races are a chance to enjoy winter, make new friends, watch the kids compete, and enjoy a carnival like atmosphere.
