The 2018 Berlack/Astle Award:

Once again there are two Awards, one each to a deserving 2017/18 U16 male and female junior alpine ski racer. The award is intended to provide assistance to USSA U16 athletes who exhibit the personal characteristics required for success both on and off the hill. Each winner will receive a minimum cash prize of $1,000 and an assortment of ski race products and swag!

Past winners have all possessed an extreme level of dedication and passion for ski racing so crucial for success. We also believe in the critical role academics, community involvement and family play in success both on and off the race hill. The award recognizes accomplishments in all aspects of U16 life. Our hope is that we can help deserving racers defray some of the cost associated with participation in the expensive sport of alpine ski racing.

The application deadline for the 2017-18 season is April 1st 2018.
