Race Program
Our programs are designed to help participants of all ages, and a wide range of abilities, to realize their highest potential as an athlete, competitor and person. We foster the love of skiing by providing a positive and supportive environment.
We believe that the development of the total athlete is more important than winning; and that the thrill of competition, when guided by a dedicated coaching staff, can be very rewarding and an opportunity to learn valuable life lessons.
The goals of the Camden Snow Bowl racing programs are to:
- Improve skiing ability.
- Have fun!
- Provide quality race training and racing experiences.
- Develop a lifelong passion for the sport.

This nine-week program is about learning the basics of racing while exploring the entire mountain, improving skills, making new friends, and having lots of fun. USSA Skills Quest drills will promote athlete development in balance, edging, and pressure. Skiers will be encouraged to give racing a try in the Snow Bowl Kombi (1/18) and will be given a timed run every Wednesday at the beginning of Wednesday Night Racing before the course is open to the public. Skiers need to be able to ride the chairlift without adult help, ski parallel, and ski the terrain from the top of the triple. Skiers who are not yet at this ability will be directed to ski school group lessons.
Registration has not opened at this time.

This athlete can ski everything: the steeps, the trees, the terrain park, ice, powder, and gates. This program is for athletes who have solid skills and want to take them to the next level. While fun is still what it’s all about, you will learn more advanced racing techniques and tactics. Athletes in this program train in a course 3 days per week, get a timed run in Wednesday night races before they are open to the public, participate in the Maine Junior Ski League (aka middle school races), the Kombi, and may choose to go to a USSA race. The program fee includes Wednesday Night Racing registration and Friday slalom gate training from 5-6:30 pm.

Wednesday Night Racing
Dates Coming Soon
5:30-6:45 pm
Bring your friends, wax your skis or snowboard, and come have some Wednesday night fun shredding the giant slalom course under the lights! Open to all ages. If you don’t have a team, we’ll find you one. Any skis will work, though when the surface is firmer, a carving ski with sharp edges works better.
