A huge thank you to the Paul Talmage Walton Jr Charitable Foundation for their donation & sponsorship of a NEW DEVO Program specific scholarship. It is our combined commitment to the values & benefits of the DEVO all-mountain skiing and alpine racing program that has propelled this scholarship into existence.

Complete applications for financial aid (including requisite supporting materials) should be submitted to admin@snowbasinskiteam.org in one email.  Timely applications are required to ensure participation for the entire program from Dec – March of each year.  Because awards are evaluated annually, a renewal application must be filed each year.

NEW Butch Hoffman 2023 Dryland Scholarship for ALL SSEF ATHLETES

Thanks to the Butch Hoffman Scholarship Fund ALL SSEF Athletes in ALL Programs get to participate in ice skating/dryland training free of charge! Thank you to Coach Scotty and all of the individual donors that make our scholarship opportunities happen!

Dryland training is twice weekly on Mondays and Wednesdays. Ice-skating is once weekly on Sundays. Early season training starts in September will continue until Thanksgiving.  Our focus is on building strength, endurance, and mobility through plyometrics, ladder drills, hill climbs, body weight exercises, and other fun drills.  Skiing is all about legs and core, so we are paying special attention to building and stabilizing these muscles. Dryland training is important to build strength, stamina, and power, but is also so essential for injury prevention once we begin training on snow.
