To our friends, family, and alumni:

As a club sport, the UConn Ski Team has to rely on the support of our school, friends, and family to stay competitive and compete in the USCSA against other top tier colleges and universities. Although we are fortunate enough to receive funding from UConn for our season, we are always left with several out of pocket costs that are distributed among athletes every season to ensure we have lane space, passes, housing, equipment, and race registration covered. Email us or Email Coach Jeff Lagasse if you’d like to get in touch and support our team!

To keep dues manageable for our athletes, we run fundraisers throughout the year to have money available for a few of many out of pocket costs. Each fall, we host a BBQ fundraiser and a silent auction with food, music and lawn games where ski team athletes, family, and alumni can meet and catch up. In addition to the BBQ, we also do many online fundraisers that we promote on our Instagram page (@uconnskiteam)! After Regionals, the team sets up a GoFundMe to support our athletes with lodging, airfare, and entry fees (which are $500 per racer), for Nationals if we qualify and most of these costs are not covered by the school. Our team is so grateful to have so many alumni who are willing to support the team!

Our 2025 Barbecue will be taking place on October 4th from 2-5pm at 124 Lake Street Coventry, CT! Hope to see you there!
