August 2023 Newsletter

Hello {First Name},

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new Snowbasin Ski Team logo, which marks a significant milestone in the evolution of our organization. Our team has come a long way since the early days of the Utah Ski Racers Foundation and Ogden Valley Ski Team. Today, we are proud to present a fresh, modern look that reflects our deep connection to our home mountain at Snowbasin and our exciting future encompassing all of our programs, from Devo to Alpine to Freeride.

Our new logo features a clean, sleek design that evokes the feeling of the perfect run. Against a backdrop of a stunning Mt. Ogden on a clear, blue-bird day, the logo captures the promise of what each day on the mountain can hold. We remain committed to our longstanding mission of supporting the youth of Utah through winter sports, and our new logo reflects that commitment. We believe it will serve as a powerful symbol of our organization and our values for years to come.
Hello {First Nam
A Fresh New Look
The Inspiration
Introducing our New President & Vice President
President Jenifer Andrasko is the parent of three Alpine/Freeride team members (Annabelle, Stephan and William.) Her family is new to the racing world, but did a deep dive three years ago relocating to the valley with her family every winter. Jen brings a wealth of executive experience and the kind of precision focus that comes with being a U.S. Navy Veteran, Pilot and EVP at Bain & Company.

Vice President Matt Donahue is the parent to two Alpine team members (Jack and Morgan.) He is a life long skier, who grew up dreaming of powder while ski racing in the Northeast. Matt is passionate about the friendships, life skills and opportunities skiing and a strong ski team community can have on your life. Not on snow, you will find Matt as an Associate Professor of Athletic Training at Weber State University.

2023-24 Registration
Registration is still open for our Alpine, Freeride, and Devo programs. However, please note that there are limited spots available for DevoMini and Saturday Freeride, so be sure to sign up soon if you're interested in these programs. Unfortunately, Devo+ is already FULL. Additionally, we want to remind everyone that tuition rates will be increasing on September 1st, so make sure to register before then to avoid the extra costs. Don't miss out on the opportunity to improve your skills and have fun on the mountain this season!

TeamSnap Tips
All athletes are a part of several TeamSnap teams ~ Summer 2023...2023-24 Members team....and then your program specific team. If you have multiple athletes in your family, you might have more than one program specific team (Devo & Freeride for example.)

Check the link below to learn how to toggle between your different teams. For more information on how to configure your TeamSnap account specific to your family's needs, check out our TeamSnap FAQ.
Parent Meetings
We are excited to announce that we will be holding in-person and Zoom meetings for the upcoming seasonal year. These meetings are essential to ensure that every athlete has a successful season. We ask that at least one parent from each family attend the meeting to receive valuable information. Please check TeamSnap for details on the location and time of the meetings. We are looking forward to seeing you there!
