Freeski & Snowboard - Shredders

The Shredders Team is intended for athletes who want to develop strong skill foundations in a recreational environment. Fun, safety, and self-empowerment through snowsports are priorities for the Shredder Team athletes. Training will focus on fundamentals in all-mountain freeriding and terrain park skills.  The Shredders training schedule is designed for athletes with at least two seasons of experience.
