The Competition Team training schedule is designed for athletes who are dedicated to pursuing the highest level of elite performance. This program seeks to maximize the athletes’ abilities as well as build creativity, discipline, drive, determination, and self-confidence in a highly focused setting. Athletes will be expected to successfully manage time for training, travel, and schoolwork while maintaining at least a 2.5 cumulative GPA.
This program services athletes in Phase 4-5 of development. The Comp Team has a multi-tiered focus. Comp Team athletes will be refining fundamentals in order to ride the entire mountain and tackle natural jumps, cliff drops, steeps, and man-made features in all conditions. Technical proficiencies and skill assessments will be a regular component of the training.
Athletes will use trampolines, water ramps, and the airbag jump at the Utah Olympic Park in addition to local facilities to gain confidence in the air. Eventually, these maneuvers will be brought to the snow and used in competition.
On snow, training will be strength and endurance-based with a focus on regularly skiing/riding 20,000+ vertical feet per day.
*Fall Training is mandatory.
**Athletes will work with both ski and snowboard coaches throughout the season.
Big Mountain Emphasis- Regional & National Level IFSA events
Freeride Emphasis- USASA & Futures Tour events
