The program runs for ten weeks on Saturdays and Sundays and includes four hours of supervised instruction. Please register by December 20th. A waiting list will begin after 12/20.

KIDS – FREESTYLE PROGRAM – SKI OR SNOWBOARD

For young athletes who already ski/ride the entire mountain with confidence, this program develops the skills to handle the terrain parks and moguls. Our experienced coaches will assemble groups based on discipline, age and skill level.  Growth towards competition (USSA – moguls, slopestyle; USASA -- slopestyle) is the ultimate goal -- coaches will determine which students will lead our Freestyle Team into competitions. Coaches may refer children they feel are not ready for this program to Alpine Development.  The Freestyle Program runs for ten weeks on Saturdays and Sundays with four hours of coaching each day.
Ages: 8-18
