Overview
South Valley Shredders is the logical choice for riders graduating the Rotarippers program, riders who have taken a lesson and want to further develop their snowboarding, or riders looking for a group to go riding with a couple days a week.
We refine the fundamentals of snowboarding by exploring all facets of the mountain. Focused freeriding, turning courses, skills tests and ollieing (jumping) will challenge all riders of this team and prepare these riders for a life of exploring and enjoying snowboarding.
The program is staffed with professional coaches who teach age-appropriate skill progression in line with SVSEF and USSS team building and skill development philosophies. Snowboard athletes in the South Valley Devo program will be grouped with fellow riders at the beginning of each session.
The goal is to create lifelong snowboarders!
