Bristol Mountain Race Club, founded in 1965 by several former Austrian National Ski Team members turned Bristol Mountain Ski School staff along with some enthusiastic Rochester families, was one of the first local race clubs in New York State. 

In its modern form, the Bristol Mountain Race Club (BMRC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) ski-racing club for children and young adults, ages 8-19. More rigorous and developmentally focused than recreational or high-school ski racing, United States Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA) racing at the local club level represents the grass roots efforts in our country's training and development of alpine world champions. The USSA track athletes must also become a member of the New York State Ski Racing Association. Applications are available at www.NYSSRA.org and United States Ski Racing Association at www.USSA.org.

BMRC is one of the most established race clubs in the United States, and has hosted USSA pipeline races for 47 consecutive years. Racers participate in an aggressive race schedule at local, regional, and national level competitions. BMRC skiers have gone on to win at the state level, compete in the Junior Olympics, and even make the U.S. Olympic Team!

BMRC views ski racing not only as a competitive sport, but as a medium through which children can augment their overall development (physical, mental, emotional, social), and learn a variety of life-skills that will serve them well and help them meet their overall life goals. Racing is a family sport requiring a time commitment by parents, but those hours really help your child's growth.
