Student Representatives

About

The Student Representatives are the voice of the students population in the USCSA. They make sure the priorities of our #1 "Customer" a.k.a. the student athlete, are represented.

​Responsibilities of the Student Reps include:
  • Support the student-athlete by representing their interests to the National Office.
  • Develop and implement programs to enhance the student-athletes’ ski & snowboard competition experience.
  • Generate interest among the student-athletes to become involved with the USCSA at the conference, regional and/or national level(s).
​

Student Reps are available to contact directly, to answer questions about their ski / snowboard team experience.

​"New athletes engaging in USCSA should know that each competition offers new experiences, that allows for growth in your own riding. While still allowing you to feel apart of something, USCSA is able to take the individuality of the sport and enhance it with the community and culture surrounding USCSA and snow sports."

Ski Team President & Captain
​Syracuse University
2021 Finance, Accounting & Spanish Major


"I grew up playing ice-hockey my entire life and shifted to ski racing my senior of high school. When I got to college, I was eager to regain my competitive drive. Through ski racing, I have made the best, most loyal friends in the world not only at Syracuse but against my competition. Having now competed in the USCSA for three years and when I sit at the top of the course, I find myself cheering for not only my teammates but also my competitors because my competitors have become my friend
