The Okemo Competition Center offers season long snow sports programs to help your child achieve their full potential on the mountain. Athletes spend their days in small groups with professionally trained staff learning the skills necessary to compete in their chosen discipline, either during the current season or in the future. OMARA supports the race program in several ways including sponsoring athlete events, on mountain community events, race day support and logistics, funding for coaches education, certifications, and equipment (cameras for coaches, race day monitors in the sugar house). OMARA also partners with Okemo to organize and run fun events on mountain like Scavenger hunts and comedy nights,

Okemo Mountain School (OMS) is a winter term ski and snowboard academy. OMS is dedicated to delivering a rigorous academic curriculum while providing an intense on-snow training schedule that would not be possible within a traditional school setting. OMARA partners with OMS to support coach education and certification, provide equipment to coaches to be used in training, and partners to provide support to the Okemo area in times of need (2023 Flooding). OMARA also provides race day logistics support for races through volunteers and some of small things that make a big difference, like coach lunches on race days and pizza and snacks for athletes awards celebrations.
