Available WMRT Memberships
1. Athlete Registration for Training Programs
- On-Line registration selections are listed at the bottom of this page. When registering your Athlete for one of our training programs you will be prompted to create an account first. By creating an account, you automatically become a Parent/Guardian Member. During your account setup you can add other adults as members if you choose to. After you set up your account you will be prompted to select a registration program
- If you registered for the 2020-2021 season (or previous seasons), most of the previous data is still in the system and does not need to be re-entered. Please check the information for accuracy for the 2021-2022 season.
2. Volunteer Registration
- Required for all who intend to volunteer for races and fundraising activities.
3. Friends of WMRT
- Special registration for Alumni of WMRT, relatives of our athletes, and general friends of WMRT not already registered during the athlete registration or volunteer programs. Absolutely no fee required. Register here and stay up to date on club news, race schedules, and more.
- WMRT maintains a strong fiscal budget which allows us to attract and retain excellent coaches as well as invest in communications, safety fencing, timing, and other necessary equipment to ensure that our coaching staff and athletes are properly equipped with the best ski racing technology we can provide. The majority of our operating income is generated through athlete registration fees and the remainder is sourced from fundraising activities and general club donations. Although no fee whatsoever is required for the Friends of WMRT program, monetary donations to help mitigate athlete registration fees are appreciated and may be submitted via this special membership program. Thank you!
- WMRT is now a registered 501(c) (3) organization. Donations are tax-deductible.
Important information. Please read carefully prior to registration.
WMRT provides age-appropriate alpine ski training and racing opportunities for athletes ages 8-20. Official team training at Wachusett Mountain begins with Dry Land training in late October/early November. On snow, the training date will be determined by snow conditions but often we are on the snow just after Thanksgiving. Training and races will continue through the middle to end of March, snow conditions permitting. Training sessions are offered Saturdays, Sundays (7:30/8:00 am - 2:30 pm) as well as Tuesday evenings and Thursday evenings (7:00 pm - 9:00 pm). Week-night training typically begins the First Tuesday following the new year, snow conditions permitting. As we progress into the season the weekend sessions may begin at 7:30 am, enabling us to take advantage of slope space. We also provide additional sessions (Christmas Camp) during the December holiday period at no additional cost for WMRT racers.
Our Team Participation Guide and calendar for the season will answer many of your questions. Please check this website often for important updates and information regarding training info and race schedules and other important information.
Although much information about our club can be found on this website, WMRT's team coordinator is available to answer questions at
. Additional team contact information can be found on the Board of Directors vertical tab on the home page. Please contact us. We are eager to answer any questions you may have.

USSA AND TARA MEMBERSHIPS REQUIRED FOR ALL WMRT ATHLETES
All WMRT athletes are required to maintain membership with USSA (United States Ski and Snowboard Association) as well as TARA (Tri-State Alpine Racing Association). USSA is the governing body for ski racing in North America. TARA is a divisional association, part of Eastern USSA, and is the governing body for USSA youth ski racing in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
Reminder: When renewing or first-time registration for USSA membership you will see that at the end of the registration process you will automatically be registered for TARA.
Membership Renewal or first-time registration for USSA / TARA can be accomplished online at the USSA membership link below. Membership renewal or first-time membership occurs immediately following the online process and is the preferred method of registration. Alternatively, an application form can be downloaded, info filled in, and mailed or faxed to USSA with the appropriate check amount. Note: This manual process does not register your athlete immediately and could result in late fees if not submitted 4 weeks in advance of the due date. See the USSA membership site for more details on membership.
USSA/TARA fees for the 2021-2022 season:
Athletes are required to maintain USSA "Alpine Competitor" memberships.

VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
One of the major factors contributing to the ongoing success of our program is the willingness of our immediate and extended community to volunteer time in helping to host events such as races and fundraising events.
This year WMRT will be continuing its formal volunteer program for parents/guardians of athletes. Please see the Volunteer Program tab on the website Home Page or the Participation Guide for specific details. You will be asked during registration to acknowledge this program and the requirements.
A volunteer registration form is available for Parents, Guardians, and friends of WMRT. If you will be volunteering during the season, please select the general volunteer registration program below. This registration does not commit you to partake in any specific event. It simply provides the club administration with a list of potential volunteers as well as a signed liability form which is required for all volunteers.
Thank you!
The WMRT Board of Directors
