We gratefully acknowledge the support of everyone who donated in 2023 and hope we can count on your support in 2024!

Okemo Mountain School’s highly trained, committed, and passionate coaches work with OMS and Competition Center athletes. Every coach is certified and is constantly learning through continuing education and professional development. In turn, they share this knowledge with the Competition Center coaches. To recruit and retain top quality coaches, we need your help! Keeping Okemo Mountain School strong benefits the entire Okemo Snow Sports Competition Community and supports the dreams and aspirations of all of the athletes. Okemo Mountain School is a 501(c)3 non-profit educational institution and all gifts may qualify as charitable deductions. A donation in any amount is greatly appreciated. Thank you for being a part of this remarkable snow sports community.

I can confidently say that OMS and OMST are some of the best snowboard programs in the country. The coaches at Okemo are true mentors outside of the sport. Their combined love for coaching and the support they have provided me is unmatched. Their unique approach to coaching keeps the soul of the sport present and has taught me to compete at the highest levels snowboarding can offer. Without this incredible amount of support from the school, teachers, and coaches, I’m certain the reality I live today would still be a dream.
— Sumner Orr, current OMS Snowboard student-athlete, US Snowboard Rookie Halfpipe Team
OMS has taught me how to balance everything in my life, beyond just athletics and academics. The rigorous training and academic schedule teaches hard work and discipline. The low student to teacher ratio forces students to think critically and deeply about their work. Additionally, the OMS community is one of the tightest knit communities I have ever been a part of.
— Graham Stein, current OMS Alpine Ski Racing student-athlete
OMS has shaped me into the hardworking and dedicated student athlete I am today. I have made life long friends and memories that will last forever. The teachers at OMS truly care about their students and they always go above and beyond. The small class sizes allow me to learn much more than the given curriculum and I am able to learn about topics that really interest me.
— Ally van Heyst, OMS Snowboard student-athlete, Class of 2023

— -Elizabeth Thompson, current OMS snowboard student-athlete
I love OMS because I have learned so much about time management skills and balance. I was able to learn from my coaches, teachers, and friends and this variety of learning led me to become a better athlete, student and person.
