This coming weekend May 13-16, 2016 is NCWSA Team Trials and All-Stars tournament weekend! This great NCWSA event kicks off with 2016 Team Trials on Friday as several skiers vie for one of the coveted spots on Team U.S.A. The team will compete at the 2016 University World Championships in Akita, Japan. Previously, we announced that Jeff Rush and Terry Goodman would be manager and coach for this edition of Team U.S.A.
