I want to join the Club and slide, what do I do?

To slide with the club, there are four steps:

  • You need to be a member of the Adirondack Luge Club. We have a reduced dues structure for youth sliders and families. For every youth athlete, we offer a complimentary non-sliding membership for a parent or guardian.

  • You need to be a member of the United States Luge Association, also known as USA Luge. Adults wishing to slide will need to join as “Class C” members, with youth athletes joining as “Class Y” members. In addition to the online registration, you will need to print out the medical examination form available when you choose your USA Luge membership. Once you have that completed by your physician, forward that to USA Luge and they will issue you a sliding permit. You will need to present this in order to slide with the club. Plan on allowing 2 weeks for the sliding permit to be issued by USA Luge.

  • You will need to pay for your track fees directly to the Olympic Region Development Authority (ORDA), who own and operate the track. You can select an Adult or Youth season pass via the online registration system, or you can pay a per-day fee directly at the track. You can do this directly with the track office prior to 4pm on the day you slide, or via telephone in advance at 518-523-4436.

  • Contact the club and sign up for the sliding sessions you are interested in attending. Once you complete your online registration, you can go ahead and sign up for club sessions. You do not need to wait for your sliding permit to arrive in the mail to sign up. You just have to have the sliding permit by the time the session arrives, so don’t hesitate to sign up and reserve your slot. To sign up, consult the schedule in the Club Siding Schedule portion of this web site and follow the instructions there.
