With three coaches on hand, we prioritize road safety and quality training sessions. For most sessions, the team will be split into three smaller groups, each with a coach. These groups will change day to day, giving athletes the opportunity to train with peers based on age, workout duration, and intensity.
Applicants with the lowest USSA or FIS points will be considered first. However, past results are not our only consideration. We strive for a team of motivated individuals who have long-term skiing goals and who will have a positive impact on the BSF ski club and Bozeman community.
From winding rivers to high alpine trails, BSF teams put on the miles exploring in-town and mountain trails, running to high-elevation alpine lakes, and more. Southwestern Montana loves its summers: from rodeos to live music and mountain adventures.
