The Lyndon Institute Alpine Ski Team is very fortunate to have a world-class training facility, Burke Mountain, just 15 minutes from campus, as well as a newly extended daily training period. Students may depart campus at 1:00 PM each school day, if schedule allows, and have 2.5 hours to train. There is also training on weekends. 

The extended training puts our program on par with our other varsity sports in terms of quality and quantity of training time. This will allow for us to have timing and video, with analysis, on a regular basis. These are very important tools for learning and progressing in the sport. 

During the last nine years, both Lyndon Institute’s men’s and women’s teams have qualified for the State Championships.  In 2015, the boys’ team was the top Northern Vermont Athletic Conference team, we placed 4th at State Championships, and one of our boys was Vermont State Giant Slalom champion. Lyndon Institute skiers may also participate in USSA sanctioned races based on interest and skill level.

The Alpine racing team trains 5-6 days a week, competes approximately once per week.  Students are encouraged to bring their own ski equipment and will have the opportunity to upgrade their provided pass for recreational skiing on weekends and holidays.
