Sage International School 2018 Junior High/High School Snow Team Information Packet The Bogus Basin School Race Program has three goals: 1) Provide a safe environment on the slopes in which to participate; 2) Encourage students to represent and compete for their school in a lifesport activity. This provides a venue for many students to represent their school that they might not otherwise have. 3) Provide a level of competition in which the maximum number of students can participate. The overall philosophy is to provide friendly competition and encourage participation. Sage International School s teams have room for all ability levels. Junior High team is for 6 th through 8 th grades. High School team is for 9 th through 12 th grades.

The member also chooses his or her ability level: expert, intermediate, or novice (novice not available for freestyle / freeride). Team members can move up or down in ability level during season by contacting the ski team advisor. Those registered for freestyle/freeride MUST complete the Terrain Park Smart video to get a helmet sticker.
