Question 1

Does my child need to know how to ski before joining?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Athletes must already be able to link turns, control their speed, stop confidently, and load the lift independently. Skills required increase with age and program level. Read your chosen program’s entry requirements and ask a coach if you’re unsure about your child’s readiness.

Question 2

Does my child need previous racing experience?

Accepted Answer

Previous racing experience is not required, but athletes must already know how to ski and meet their program’s entry requirements. Coaches help athletes develop racing skills through training. Read the entry requirements for your chosen program to understand the skiing skills expected. If you’re unsure whether it’s the right fit, ask a coach for guidance.

Question 3

Is my child supervised during lunch?

Accepted Answer

Rippers U8, U10, and U12 athletes are supervised throughout the program, including lunch. Older athletes receive coaching without ongoing supervision. Athletes U12 and older are responsible for keeping track of their own equipment.

Question 4

What should we do if we’re running late to training?

Accepted Answer

Groups begin promptly at their start times. It can be difficult to reach coaches once they are on the hill. If you are running late, please notify the coach or supervisors as soon as possible to arrange a meeting place and plan to stay with your child while waiting. Do not send your child onto the mountain alone to find the team.

Question 5

What should we do if our child needs to leave training early?

Accepted Answer

Notify your coach ahead of time and arrange a pickup location directly with them. Make sure the coach knows your child is leaving before taking them out of training.

Question 6

Is full-time membership worthwhile if we live off the mountain?

Accepted Answer

Full-time membership includes additional weekday training and holiday camps, offering more opportunities to train during school breaks. Your school’s vacation schedule may provide additional opportunities beyond the local district’s calendar.

Question 7

What membership discounts are available?

Accepted Answer

Dick Kun Kids’ Camp to Race Team: Eligible local racers who joined after learning through DKKSC receive a $640 discount for up to four consecutive years of membership.

Large Family: Discounts apply to the third and subsequent related siblings; the first two pay regular fees.

BBMR Employee: Available to racers whose parent works for BBMR.

Each racer may use only one of these three discounts, but may also receive a scholarship.

Question 8

Can I transfer my membership to someone else?

Accepted Answer

Memberships are assigned to an individual athlete and cannot be transferred to another person.

Question 9

How do I renew my membership?

Accepted Answer

Sign in to your existing account, select your athlete, and purchase the appropriate membership for the new season. Review your household and athlete information and complete the new season’s waivers before finishing registration.

Question 10

Does membership include a lift pass?

Accepted Answer

Lift passes are purchased separately from SSRT membership. Families can purchase a discounted Snow Summit Season Pass. U8 to U12 receive a $150 discount, and U14 to U21 receive a $200 discount. Alternatively, an Ikon Pass includes access to Snow Summit. An Ikon Pass may also be convenient for camps and championships at mountains such as Mammoth Mountain and Palisades Tahoe. Check the specific pass’s resort access, blackout dates, and visit limits before purchasing.
