Can a person qualify for the U.S ski team by being noticed from a high school team?

Question

im a skier and im competing on my high school ski team this year. can a person get noticed by just being on a high school team? and if they can, could you possibly be on the u.s ski team for the olympics in 2010 that quick?

Answer 1

that'll be pretty difficult. jumping from high school to national is a big step, a majority of the olympians are in college and are on their college team; it's easier to get noticed when you're on a college team. get in touch with a few powerful people i guess, and if there's any ski clubs or contests and stuff you should enter to build up your experience.. but for 2010 that's gonna be tough.
