Hey man.. You just want a list of previous jobs and schooling with some detailing of skills learnt and what not, along with a cover letter.

If it helps I can email you my resume.

introduce yourself
how old you are, where you ski, how long you've been skiing and what your background is basically
tell him what comps you did this year and how you placed
tell him your goals/plans for the season

 if you have microsoft word, then you can also go to the file menu click on new or new word template and then find the resume templates they already have set up for you. That is of course for a buisness and not a sponsorship, but it still may be an option if the previious sugestions do not work.
