Team Overview

The Freeski Progression Team’s focus is on learning more about slopestyle, halfpipe, big air and all mountain skiing (Big Mtn.) with the opportunity to travel to USASA Big Mountain West Series regional events with parents.

This team will ski Dollar and Baldy to further develop park, pipe, jibbing and all mountain skills. Athletes must be able to ski all-terrain in varying conditions. The ski skills this team will be learning is to hit jumps, quarter-pipes, hips, rails, cat tracks, cliffs and other jib features. There will also be off-snow training available at the Air Barn. Off and on-snow training will focus on air awareness skills and basic acrobatics in relation to freeskiing.

Athletes on this team love to ski the terrain park and skiing POW when the conditions call for it. SVSEF will offer training camp and competition opportunities. Each project has a separate cost in addition to tuition.
