northwest alpine ski team
Northwest Alpine Ski Team provides students in grades 7-12 the opportunity to compete in high school downhill skiing. NWAST accepts students from Osseo District #279 (including Osseo, Maple Grove and Park Center High Schools and any middle school that feeds into those high schools), Elk River District #728 (including Elk River and Rogers High Schools and any middle school that feeds into those high schools), Maranatha, and Totino Grace. NWAST is a self-funded cooperative organized by parent volunteers.
Learning to compete under pressure and to strive for a goal is an ultimate life lesson for any young athlete. Athletes will learn the importance of teamwork and respect for others.
