Do you ski and want to meet and train with USA Luge athletes at your favorite ski resorts?

Now in its eighth season, the LUGE CHALLENGE will bring the luging experience to the masses free of charge at ski resorts across the country during the 2006 winter season.  This program uses a recreational version of the luge sled used in the Olympic Winter Games.  It gives youngsters, 10 and older, and adults the chance to feel, first-hand, the excitement of luge.  USA Luge National Team coaches and athletes demonstrate this Olympic sport to the participants and teach the proper techniques.  After a few morning practice runs you’ll be able to take the “Ultimate Challenge” on a track complete with banked turns and timing equipment on a Laserluge® made for snow.
