đź“… Saturday, September 6, 2025
Getting the right equipment is one of the most important steps in preparing for the season. Each September, we host our Annual Fit Day—a tradition that gives alpine ski racing and freeskiing athletes the chance to check out, try on, and order new gear. It’s also the perfect opportunity to reconnect with winter friends and get excited for the season ahead!
This year’s OMS & Okemo Comp Center Fit Weekend will feature:
- Shop open houses with coaches available to assist with gear selection
- An introduction to SkillsQuest Fitness Testing (for athletes U14 and under)
- An OMARA-sponsored pizza party to celebrate together
👉 Snowboard athletes are encouraged to join the Fitness Testing and Pizza Party. Dedicated snowboard fitting opportunities will be offered later in the fall.
📌 Schedule of Events — Saturday, September 6
- 9:00 am – 3:00 pm — Gear selection with coaches at Boot Pro, Totem Pole, and Northern Ski Works

âś… RSVP here by Thursday, September 4
Please RSVP if you plan to attend any or all of the day’s events.
