Month: January 2020

Northern Michigan University has announced the addition of a varsity level alpine ski team (men and women) intending to compete at the USCSA level beginning in 2020-21. NMU is activity searching for a head coach to help launch alpine skiing as a varsity sport. The position vacancy announcement may be found on the NMU human resource website.

Please consider sharing this information with the coaches in your respective regions. I believe NMU human resources is intending to advertise the position in the Ski Racing Magazine Classifieds section and on the USSS website in the Career Opportunities section.

I am hoping that the USSS Regional Development Directors would be willing to spread the word and help us promote alpine skiing at the collegiate level. NMU intends to have athletes competing in regional and national USCSA, USSS, and FIS competitions.

Thanks for your consideration and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
