1) Most racers start on a Development Team, which gives them an opportunity to try our the sport and have a lot of fun.
2) Those who do well move to a league called USSA
3) The best racers in USSA race a program called FIS
4) World Cup teams and the U.S Ski Team are chosen off racers who race FIS
5) The fastest members of the U.S Ski Team race in the Olympics
