U.S. Ski Team Unfunded By Government

Description

When you're on the U.S. ski team, it's not all glamorous. 22-year-old member of the US Alpine B Ski Team Lila Lapanja has to pay for everything herself. The US Ski and Snowboard Association does not cover training, technical, and medical expenses, which cost over $100,000 per skier. Lodging and travel estimate at around $25,000 per skier each season. The US system receives no government funding and private funding still only allows funding for the senior A team. USSA's executive VP Luke Bodensteiner said, "it definitely loads the stress on the athlete."
