Overview

The Freestyle Travel Team is designed for athletes that aspire to compete in the USSA Intermountain Division competitions. Athletes work closely with coaches to develop a tactical and technical approach to their season through goal setting, in conjunction with developing a long-term athlete development plan. Travel Team athletes will also have the option of competing at FIS level competitions such as U.S. Selections, Nationals, and NorAms if qualified.

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