SNOWBOARD TEAM COACHING
Guided Coaching & Training for All Disciplines
Training and Coaching Program
Our expert coaches guide small groups of 7–11 riders through a dynamic mix of snowboarding disciplines designed to build skill, confidence, and competitive edge. Each session is tailored to current snow conditions and upcoming competition schedules, ensuring riders get the most out of every run.
Disciplines include:
• Freeride – Explore natural terrain and develop adaptive riding techniques
• Slopestyle – Master jumps, rails, and creative line choices
• Halfpipe – Refine aerial control and amplitude
• Banked Slalom – Race the clock on a winding, berm-filled course
• Boardercross – Go head-to-head with up to 4 riders on the Banked Slalom track
Before coaching begins, riders enjoy 45–60 minutes of freeride warm-up to loosen up and get in the zone.
Competition Team Requirement:
All competitive riders are expected to train with a coach for 2 hours each evening, focusing on discipline-specific techniques, race strategy, and performance refinement.
We encourage every rider to take full advantage of our passionate coaching staff—whether you're chasing podiums or just pushing your personal best.
