Hello and welcome to the Wilson and Central Catholic (W&CC) Ski Team website. Please note that many of our successful racers have not raced before they joined the W&CC ski team. Compared to ski area lessons, the W&CC ski team represents an excellent value, with top notch training and coaching. If you want to be an advanced or expert skier for life, joining the W&CC ski team is a tremendous opportunity. The skiing portion of our season starts as soon as the snow flies on Mt. Hood. (The Fusion ski pass - which is a season pass to both Ski Bowl and Timberline - is a good value to enable skiing regardless of the weather.) Dryland training begins in November, and is a critical part of being ready to ski your best and avoid injuries this year. Our mountain training typically starts after Thanksgiving. During the month of December we offer a variety of practice schedules which include a weekend trip to White Pass, WA. We typically take a Raz bus to our Wednesday night training sessions at Ski Bowl. However, these do not typically start until January. Our Racing season begins in January with the Cato memorial Race at Timberline Ski Resort followed by six league races which are held on Saturdays throughout the month of January and February. These Races are held at Mt. Hood Ski Bowl, Timberline, and Mt. Hood Meadows.

Team organization: Wilson HS and Central Catholic HS are two ski teams that compete in the Three Rivers League. The two teams share the same coaching staff, training 'lanes' (ski slope allocation), fundraising efforts, Wednesday training bus, and other activities. Sharing costs between two teams helps maximize the value of the training and ski racing season.

2010 Results: Trevor Schmidt (freshman) and Elliot Wiitala (senior) led the Central Catholic Boys with a 4th place finish in the competitive Three Rivers League. Irvan Bubic (senior) and Trevor Schmidt both placed in the top 10 in league this season. We had 9 individuals qualify for the State Race which was held on Mt. Hood in March of 2010. This included the Central Catholic boys team (Elliot Wiitala, Trevor Schmidt, Hayden Fawcett, Alex Moreland, and Russell Gilbertson), 3 Wilson boys (Irvan Bubic, Dylan Stokes, and Niko Aberle), and our lone Central Catholic girl qualifier, Emily-Rose Wiitala.

The Future Looks Bright: As with any season we are sad to see our seniors go. Of our 19 athletes this year, we will be losing 4 seniors. However, our returning racers have tremendous talent. We are always recruiting new team members! If you are interested please contact Coach Jason Gillies for more information. (Contact Us)
