Mission: Sbsta is dedicated to the healthy, joyful growth of passionate skiers: mind, body, and spirit. The organization oversees two programs: a ski team for alpine and nordic skiers racers of all ages and a college preparatory day and boarding school for students in grades 6-12.
Programs: Sbsta operates sugar bowl academy, a fully accredited boarding and day school for students in grades 6 through 12.

Nearly 100% of academy graduates attend a four year college or university and many continue competitive ski racing during their college years. Sugar bowl academy inspires and empowers passionate, highly motivated students, setting the stage for competitive skiers to seek and celebrate challenge with grit, grace, and courage.
