Tournaments are held over weekends during fall semester. We compete in Slalom, Trick and Jump. There is an A Team for both men and women. Consisting of the 5 best skiers in each event. Depending on the tournament they may also let the B Team compete, it depends on how fast the tournament is running.
We travel to and from tournaments as a team. We leave Friday afternoons and return Sunday evenings. The team usually meets at a team members house (The meet up is always announced at the Tuesday night meetings and is sent out via e-mail to team members). Not everyone has to drive. Depending on how many people go will determine how many people have to drive. You don't have to worry if you don't have a car you will have no problem getting a ride. If you are riding with someone you are expected to chip in for gas.
