Big Mountain
The Big Mountain Team has been a great success and continues to grow! The program focuses on skiing the "upper mountain" learning: how to read lines, technical skills on steeper terrain, droping big airs and snow saftey!
For those interested in competition, the ifsa (International Free Skiing Association) has created the Junior Freeskiing Tour for ages 12-14 and 15-17. The Big Mountain Team will prepare the athlete to compete on a national level, while educating them on how to become a strong and smart Big Mountain skier
“The creation of the JFT will help legitimize junior athletes’ involvement in the sport of freeskiing and help them prepare for the Freesking World Tour. There is no doubt the JFT will be the breeding ground of future freeskiing stars and heavy hitters of the big screen.” Jim Jack president IFSA
Full Time Team
This program is for the avid competitor who is dedicated to the sport of freestyle. The Full Time Team will focus on perfecting their skills to progress in moguls and half pipe. Team members train and ski the mountain five days a week. On contest weeks the team will train the day before the contest at the designated venue. On training weeks, Wednesday will be considered competition focus and will end the day with video review of two mock competition runs. The team will also focus on Big Mountain, Terrain Park, Big Air, and just plan shredding. The team consists of athletes 12 and older.

Weekend Non-Competitive Team
This program is designed for the in-between athlete with other responsibilities, but has time to rip on the weekends! We will concentrate on specific Mogul and Aerial skills but will also include some Freeriding. This group trains on the weekends and participates with the Full Time Team.

Halfpipe/Freeride Team
This program is a weekend team designed for the athlete that wants to focus on the half pipe and terrain park. Intermountain and USSA have put forth a lot of effort to host many local halfpipe and slope style competitions. With certified coaches, athletes will emphasize their time on improving skills on rails, tabletops, gaps, and the halfpipe. Whether the athlete chooses to compete or not, this team will increase your air awareness and overall skill in and out of the terrain park.
Big Mountain Team
Last year the team was a great success. The program focuses on skiing the whole mountain. From top to bottom the athlete will learn how to read lines, weather, snow patterns, to launch big drops, and end up with the ability to ski any peak nonstop. You have to be 18 to compete in big mountain events. This team will get the younger athletes ready for competition when it is time. For the older athlete it is a way to learn the skills needed to compete with the big boys. Also the team will get the opportunity to learn avalanche safety and what is needed to survive in the back country. This program is also good for the athlete who is looking into becoming a ski patrol.
