The Queenstown Alpine Ski Team (QAST) is a community based Non-profit Incorporated Society affiliated to Snow Sports New Zealand and dedicated to providing the opportunity for children and adolescents to learn and excel in Alpine Ski Racing.

QAST provides programmes for athletes to enhance their athletic skill, and in the process of doing so, to build character.  It is a place to learn core values, commitment, teamwork, loyalty, sportsmanship, humility and integrity.  It is a place to learn self management, work ethic, discipline, focus, self motivation and healthy competitive attitudes.  Our coaches aim to enhance these elements in programmes which build self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment while enabling our athletes to achieve their full potential in alpine ski racing in an environment of friendship and fun.

There are 65 members in the team who could benefit from the new uniform.

Fundraising and Fees are the only sources of income and the costs of running the programs can exceed this amount.

WHAT IS THE FUNDING FOR?

New team snow jackets

HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY?

The club is a community not-for-profit organisation. The funding will greatly help us with new equipment needed this season. The coaches, parents and athletes will benefit from having new jackets to ensure they are seen on the mountain. The club will benefit from not only having a current Team uniform but for safety on the mountain while training and competing.
