A Brief History

In 1971, a group of interested parents and racers established the Alpental Ski Foundation and the Alpental Ski Club.  The Foundation was established as a non-profit organization to promote junior ski racing.  The ski racers called themselves "Team Alpental" and were supported by the Foundation.  In 1984, the name was changed to reflect a merger of the junior race programs at Alpental and Snoqualmie.  The result is the current names: The “Alpental-Snoqualmie Ski Foundation” and "Team Alpental Snoqualmie".  The Alpental-Snoqualmie Ski Foundation's Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws charge the Foundation with providing the administration, promotion and education of ski racers.  The Foundation is also responsible for organizing and sponsoring TAS and for producing competitive ski events.  The officers and board members are elected individuals, mainly parents, who have shown an active interest and a willingness to participate in racing activities.
