MISSION:
The focus of FSx will be to support and inspire Cross Country Ski
Racing in the US by developing and fielding a competitive team made up
of America‘s most elite racers. The goals of the
program are to provide a supportive and competitive environment for
Americans top developing cross country ski racers.
PROGRAMS:
The FSx program (acronym for Fischer – Swix – and XC) is made up of
three interlinked programs; The Athlete Development program, the
Ambassador Program and the new Elite Team. While
the athlete development program and the ambassador program are critical
components of the program– the Elite Team is the core of FSx. This
new professional race team was created in response to the USST
budgetary problems in an effort to support athlete development. The members are up and coming, committed athletes that WILL have an impact on US Skiing in a big way in the coming years. This
small but effective group of skiers is made up of the 2005 US Super
Tour Sprint Champion, 2 former American Marathon Series Champions, and
three other young aspiring recent college graduates.
