Welcome to SARS

SARS has been active at Schweitzer Mountain since the resort opened in December of 1963. Founded originally as a ski racing club, SARS has grown over the years into a ski team supporting alpine racers of all ages as well as freestyle skiers. We provide a fun, friendly environment for people of all ages to increase their knowledge and skill levels in skiing, ski racing, freestyle and snowboarding.

Schweitzer Alpine Racing School competes in the Pacific Northwest Ski Association (PNSA) division of the Western Region of the United States Ski and Snowboard Association and has been one of the most successful ski teams in PNSA for many years. We have produced an Olympic athlete and US Ski Team member as well as over a dozen Nor-AM athletes and Divisional Champions. We consistently send racers to Western Region Championship Events and have been regularly represented at Junior National Championships, US Senior National Championships, and Nor-AM Finals; the championship of North America’s highest level of competition. At the youngest ages, the SARS YSL team (6-11 years old) are the reigning Inland Northwest Emerald Empire Youth Ski League champions and the U14 Team is a consistent top 3 finisher at the PNSA Buddy Werner Championships.
