Freeride Programs

The Freeride programs provide technical and decision-making training for skiers aged 9-18 who have a coach recommendation and are interested in tackling creative off-piste challenges. The Freeride programs are two separate training pathways that scale in intensity and commitment: All Mountain Freeride and Competitive Freeride. Athletes are matched into a pathway and small training group based on their age, abilities, and desired training intensity.
All Freeride athletes are invited to dryland training and holiday break training camp.

All Mountain Freeride

This introductory program is for athletes ages 9-14 to explore freeride skiing without a competitive focus. Training is one or two days per week, Saturday and/or Sunday, and is focused on foundational ski techniques in addition to technical and creative skill-building.

Competitive Freeride

This advanced program is for athletes ages 9-18 who are ready to compete at local, divisional, and national levels. Ranging from 1-5 training days per week across multiple resorts, these athletes are focused on terrain assessment, safety, air awareness, and decision-making.

Alpine Freeride Combo

This immersive program is for athletes ages 10-18 who cross train in both alpine race and freeride techniques with competitive focus in both. With 4 or 6 training days per week options, these athletes are training and traveling all year long.
