The yearly budget of MARA covers many things, equipment (gates, drills and video cameras), behind the scenes stuff like insurance, banking fees and web hosting, and the most important item is coaching. Coaching and the overall MARA experience is the primary product MARA offers, and our coaches are top notch. They have the technical abilities to deliver progression based training to your athletes, and they are all great, energetic people too. They create an enjoyable learning environment facilitating growth in skiing ability while having fun.
We have a great staff and are able to offer their services for far less than each athlete would pay for an equal amount of ski school lessons. We are also very competitive to the rest of the clubs in the Pacific Northwest and Far West Regions. In every category, our fees are below the average of the clubs surveyed.
We have worked very hard to reduce the overall MARA program costs and therefore are able to offer discounted rates for 2015-2016. We also are working very hard to provide a quality introductory experience to get new athletes to join the MARA family. We will be offering the 6 week Intro Program for $199 and this program is available to athletes new to MARA.
The MARA Scholarship Fund was created to address needs based assistance. Applications are available in the Forms/Waivers/PDFs section at the right of the page. Holiday Camp is also included in the fees for 12 week and full-time athletes.
