SWMSC History

The SWMSC was originally called the Greater Kalamazoo Ski Conference, it was formed in 1994  as a way to promote ski racing and give area high school students a place to race.  

The Conference originally trained and raced at Timber Ridge Ski Area.  Teams from our conference later trained and raced at both Bittersweet Ski Area and Timber Ridge Ski Area. Currently the Conference is based at Timber Ridge. 

The league strives to promote and expand the sport of ski racing at our area schools.  We have 8 teams that cover athletes from 13 area highs schools, which is the most teams that we have had in the SWMSC.  We currently have over 100 athletes competing in our conference.
