FREERIDE & SNOWBOARDING


FREERIDE COMP TEAM 

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Freeride program gives skiers and snowboarders ages 12+ dedicated coaching to explore and compete in big mountain freeride competitions (whether they are skiing or snowboarding).

In freeride competitions, athletes are presented with a section of mountain to ski/ride, and the athlete chooses their own line. Athletes are judged based on their line choice down the course, control, fluidity, technique, style and energy. Most of our training time will focus on how to improve on each of these categories, and we'll also spend time learning how to inspect a run.

Primary competitions are with the International Freeskiers and Snowboarders Association (IFSA).

REQUIREMENTS
  • age 12 - 18
  • 1 to 2 years in BSF's Alpine, Freestyle or Freeride Devo or Comp programs (or equivalent experience)
