Skiing

Our Story: From 1970 to the Next Turn

Skiing at Milton is about the thrill of the winter and the energy of a team that loves to move. The Mustangs train four days a week at Blue Hill, the program's home hill just ten minutes from campus, and race every Wednesday at Nashoba Valley against ISL competition, with the New England Class B Championship serving as the season's proving ground each February.

What sets Milton Skiing apart is the breadth of who it serves. Roughly 75 percent of the team learns to race for the first time through Milton's own program, while returning veterans and experienced weekend or FIS-level racers use the team's mid-week training to stay sharp for outside competition. That mix produces a roster that is as much about development as it is about depth — a team capable of placing skiers in the top fifteen at any event while still welcoming athletes who are clipping into a race course for the very first time.

The program's mindset reflects that same balance: confidence built through technical precision, and joy built through genuine team connection. Whether an athlete's goal is a spot on the podium or simply the rush of their first run through the gates, the culture at Milton is built on the belief that everyone's progress matters to the team's success — and that the real legacy of this program isn't found in any single banner, but in the momentum the Mustangs build together, season after season.

Program Philosophy:
Finding Your Edge

We believe the best racing comes from a place of confidence and joy. Our philosophy is simple: technical drills sharpen your skills, and a supportive environment sharpens your spirit. Whether training under the lights at Blue Hill or racing at Nashoba Valley on a Wednesday afternoon, the focus is always on individual progress and team connection.

We balance accountability with personal advocacy. While we expect mental toughness on the hill, our coaches are the first to celebrate every breakthrough, ensuring each athlete feels seen and valued. There's a specific kind of magic in a winter afternoon on the hill — the crisp air, the sound of a clean edge on the snow, and the peer-to-peer mentorship that happens between runs. We teach our skiers that being true to the process is what leads to success, building a lifelong passion for the mountains and the belief that they can tackle any challenge, on or off the slopes.

Honors & Awards

Skiing became a varsity sport at Milton Academy in 1970, and the program has fielded both boys' and girls' teams at the varsity and JV level since 1980. The Girls' team has won the New England Class B Championship and the ISL title, including an undefeated regular season, and the Boys' team has captured three ISL Championships and two New England Class B titles — a record of sustained success across more than five decades of program history.

That tradition reached a defining moment when the Mustangs swept both the boys' and girls' team titles at the Class B NEPSAC Alpine Skiing Championship at Okemo Mountain — the program's first NEPSAC sweep since 2002. The girls' team won by a commanding margin, while the boys' team posted a historic turnaround, cutting their score from 189 points the previous year to a championship-winning 58. As one team captain put it afterward, "a change in mindset" was as responsible for the result as any single performance on the hill.
