"I
was always looking outside myself for strength
and confidence, but it comes from within.
It is there all the time.”" -
Anna Freud
Mount Peter is located in Warwick,
NY 50 miles from Manhattan and is home to
the most reliable, consistent, and aggressive
alpine racing & development programs
in the area. At Mount Peter we care about
our young racers ages 6 - 18 and we strive
to help mentally and physically develop
each young racer into not only a good skier
but a young adult that takes what they’ve
learned at our mountain and apply it to
their own personal goals and ambitions.
Our Alpine Racing Program has been in existence
since the early 1960’'s, so we know
ski racing! Mount Peter is home to participants
in our programs who have achieved great
success such as: State and Regional Championships,
NYS High School State Championships, J I,
II, III Finals, Junior Olympics, Master
Division Championships and we have had podium
winners in the NCAA Championships. Mount
Peter has also hosted many racing competitions,
such as: USSA races, Masters races, State
races & High Schools races, just to
name a few. The mountain is dedicated to
the alpine racing program and will do all
that we can do to see success in all of
our racers, no matter what their level of
ability is!
The philosophy and goals of our coaches
and mountain staff is for racers to walk
away at the end of the season feeling confident,
with an understanding of sportsmanship,
and the knowledge that with hard work and
determination, they can succeed. Our programs
are designed to introduce the young athlete
to challenging levels of skiing and competition.
Mount Peter’s racing programs are
fun, demanding and will give every opportunity
for success. Each developing young ski racer
will learn and perfect advanced skiing skills
that can be applied in all skiing disciplines.
With help from our dedicated, professional
staff, more on-hill time with free skiing,
focused skiing, drills and gate training
will help skiers push themselves into being
the best ski racer they can be.
All participants in our Alpine Race Programs
are supported by the Mount Peter Ski Racing
Club. This club is dedicated to supporting
youth ski racing at Mount Peter. All race
program participants and parents are asked
to join & participate in club activities.
