Hello BST and BART Families



The BST Board would like to welcome

you all to the 2025-26 Season !!



Last year, although Mother Nature

challenged us, it was a great success

for BST both on and off the mountain.

We are excited about continuing

that momentum into this new season.



The board has been meeting monthly

since the banquet, laying the

groundwork for another

great race season.


We have a solid plan in place and are

excited about getting this season started.


We will be offering the very popular

pre-season Pat's Peak practices

in Dec again this year, are planning

a Team Meeting day in Nov,

and a practice season pass.



Details can be found below.





=====================

Registration

is now OPEN !!

=====================


We are happy to announce that we will be

able to keep the registration rates for

this season at the same costs

as last 2 seasons!

The rates currently reflect the early

sign up discount and will

remain in effect until ...


BST: Dec 2nd

BART: Dec 31st


(after Dec 2nd BST rates will increase by $75)

(after Dec 31st BART rates will increase by $75)


Please use the link above to access the

registration portal.




In order to provide the best experience for each racer,

we need to set limits for each age group.


PLEASE register early to lock in your spot(s).


We will maintain a waitlist for each

age group once that limit has been reached.



======================


Once your registration is complete, 

you will receive two

confirmation emails.


The BST email will have a link (see below)

to the EMBWL waiver form.

Please complete it and make

sure the date(s) reflect the current year.


ALL BST (not BART) skiers MUST complete

the waiver form PRIOR to the start of the season.





=========================

Practice Pass

=========================


This season we will be making a change

away from the speedpass coupons

of the previous two seasons to a

much asked for

Bradford Ski Team

Practice Pass.


This pass will be good to obtain a

lift ticket ONLY on PRACTICE nights.

(Race Day Tickets are not included)


It will be racer specific, requiring

the uploading of a picture which

will become part of the pass.


Please make sure you have a plan in

place with your racer to safeguard

the pass.


Replacements passes will

be available at a nominal rate.


Should you not have the pass on a

practice night or should you exceed the

number of allotted practices (half pass)

you will need to purchase a full price

night ticket from the window.

Current price is $55



==========



After analyzing attendance data of the

last two seasons of speedpass use,

it is apparent that not all families are

able to attend both nights per week, but also

were consistent to a specific single evening.


With that in mind there will be TWO

different passes available:





FULL SEASON - $400

Good for two nights per week.

For a total of 16 practices


BART: Mon & Wed Nights

BST: Tues & Thurs Nights






HALF SEASON - $250

Good for any day, but

only for a total of 8 practices



Should you purchase a HALF pass then

decide later that you need more you

will need to plan to purchase an

additional half pass at $250 or

purchase a night ticket directly

from the window.





We will provide further information in

a future email on the specifics of how

to purchase your passes and

when/how to pick them up.

Communications

=========================


We will continue to utilize email as

the primary means of communication.


In addition, we had so much positive

feedback from the HEJA App trial

last year that it will be back again for

this season as an additional means

of league wide communication, as well

as the added benefit of U group specific

communication.
