Carl’s Cup Scholarship Fund

The Carl’s Cup Scholarship is for SSWSC male or female athletes ages 10 to 17 in any discipline who are currently active in the SSWSC programs and participating in out-of-town competitive events. The Carl’s Cup Scholarship Fund has been made possible by local businesses, corporations, and lifelong ski racers through their participation and/or donations to the Carl’s Cup Scholarship Race Series. This scholarship aims to give young athletes the opportunity to compete in out-of-town races and help ease the financial burden on their families. Applications open in January, and awards are made in February.

The race course is set by 6:00 p.m. for racers to do a course inspection, and the race usually starts at 6:30 p.m. Racers get two race runs.
