3-Day Freestyle Progression (Moguls)

Overview

Introduction to Freestyle and All Mountain

The 3-Day Freestyle Progression Team’s primary goal is to create safe, fun-filled training environments while creating the best all mountain skiers. Athletes work on developing their skills while skiing the back bowls, groomers, trees, and moguls. They spend time in the terrain parks on both Baldy and Dollar Mountain, train on our mogul venue on Roundhouse, and at the jump venue at Rotarun. The on-snow breakdown is 20% to 30% course/ 40% all-mountain and 30% freeski. Athletes are also welcome to participate in our summer training camps and early season on-snow camps.

Our Air Barn training sessions focus on building athlete’s air awareness in our state of the art Air Barn. Athletes have the opportunity to work on developing their tumbling and trampoline skills with the possibility of hitting our ramp/airbag.

Athletes on the Freestyle Progression team must be solid independent skiers with an interest or experience in freestyle skiing.
