DESCRIPTION: 

The Freeride Development Team is designed for Athletes, ages 10-18, interested in the latest Freeride techniques and tactics. Athletes must be comfortable on groomed black terrain and ski in a parallel stance.  Athletes will explore the whole mountain developing fundamental skills necessary for great skiing.  They will also begin developing skills and tactics for more demanding skiing, such as, racing, park, halfpipe, moguls, steeps, ice and powder.  We will also be running our own "in-house" Freeride competitions to prepare athletes for IFSA events .  Athletes will ski with similar age / experience groups with qualified Freeride coaches.
