The World Pro Ski Tour is an organization dedicated to promoting professional dual alpine ski racing. The tour is led by the former president of the U.S. Pro Ski Tour, Ed Rogers of Bath, Maine; Craig Marshall of Portland, Maine; Kevin Clarke of Fryeburg, Maine; Barrett Stein of Tamarack, Idaho; and John Jacobs of Glens Falls, New York. The group looks to capitalize on the popularity of the dual format to maintain a full-season tour and offer opportunities for ski racers to earn a living while sharing the excitement of their sport with the public.
