Freeride Programs
“This team is definitely something special to be a part of—it’s incredible to watch the way these kids and coaches love and support each other”
“Thank you coaches, parents, and athletes for an amazing culture of support and stoke!”
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. There are two separate Freeride programs 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.
2025-26 Season Reflections:
“ Freeride is more than just a team; it’s a culture built on support, progression, and shared stoke. Parents summed it up best. That sense of connection shows up in every aspect of the program. From experienced athletes lifting up the next generation to newer riders finding their place, the environment has been one of encouragement and growth. The progress this season has been undeniable—not just in performance, but in confidence, leadership, and camaraderie. Much of that is a reflection of the dedication behind the scenes. To our coaches, athletes, and families—thank you for creating something truly special. We’re proud of what this team has become—and even more excited for where it’s headed next. ”
“Shout out to all the coaches for your support and building this team up… we’re just getting started.”
