Master’s Program

If you want to take your skiing to the next level, improve your confidence as well as ability, and ski the whole mountain with ease, the Mount Shasta Masters (MSM) is an ideal way to ratchet up your skiing.  The MSM offers a flexible schedule and excellent coaching to improve your skiing ability and reach your performance goals.  Our MSM coaches will provide video reviews of gate training, free skiing, and drills in a safe environment and atmosphere of camaraderie, support and challenge.  The MSM is appropriate for intermediate and expert skiers, as well as current and former racers. 
You may participate in any combination or all of our two hour sessions offered most Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays starting in January.   The cost for this program is $175.00 for the entire season.


This series of coaching clinics is intended for adult skiers of intermediate to advanced ability who want to progress in their skiing and racing skills. The clinics are held Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. These clinics include:

  • an introduction to ski racing techniques in a progressive, laid back and non-intimidating way

  • exercises and specific drills to refine skills and build confidence

  • an introduction to running gates and race courses

  • a whole lot of fun!

Master's program participants are asked to support the racing community in Mt. Shasta by volunteering 2 days during the youth races throughout the season. All events will take place at the Mt Shasta Ski Park.
