Support Better & Faster Together in its mission to build community in athletics:
What We Do
Education
We provide a wide variety of information on the sport of skiing—creating an archive of accurate information from trusted sources in the industry for athletes, parents and coaches. We focus on topics like performance, psychology, wellness, social and emotional health, injury prevention, nutrition for athletes and gear maintenance.
Recognition
We recognize athletes, parents and coaches who are champions of promoting community, healthy competition and important life skills such as empathy, effective communication, creative and critical thinking, dealing with stress and developing interpersonal relationships. We celebrate those front-line ambassadors who are exemplary community role models in the sport at a grassroots level.
Camps
We support athletes who are committed to their own performance and who give back to the community. Through camps, clinics and workshops, we promote values championing healthy competition and positive life skills on and off the snow.
