Focus:  The Two-Day performance team is our top team to offer athletes a pathway to achieve top results and move onto development and provincial teams in Moguls, Park, and Pipe by training and competing in the BC Timber Tour Circuit.  Each athlete will get a yearly training plan to set them up for their individual goals and needs designed by their coach.

This program trains 2+ days/week on snow (Sat/Sun) and we recommend one day of trampoline and Friday afternoons on snow.  For our TT High Performance (ALL-IN) we added an additional WED PM on-snow option which is recommended and can be added to your program.

Athletes will have a choice to specialize in Moguls or Park and Pipe as their primary focus with cross training in all disciplines including Big Mountain. Focus of skill-based development of athletes to compete at the Timber Tour level and beyond.

Groups sizes will be 6-8 athletes per coach. The One-Day program has more flexibility with roughly half the number of days training, but athletes are expected to compete in at least one Timber Tour event.

It is highly recommended that athletes compete in at least 2 of the 3 stope of the BC Freestyle Provincial Timber Tour Series.  Events run all over BC with this year's locations and dates for 2024-2025 still TBC.

Eligible athletes will also have an option to compete in the BC Winter Games, Canadian Series Events, Junior Nationals and IFSA Freeski events at an additional cost if they qualify and chose to.

All expenses outside of program coaching days you selected for away events are added costs at $50/day and coaches travel costs are split between all the athletes attending.

*All athletes require a Freestyle Canada/FBC membership in addition to program registration at a Provincial Level license. IFSA membership is require for any IFSA (Big Mtn) events that FFC targets.  Note all athletes need a Provincial license to do the IFSA events.

Focus:  This program is designed for younger athletes that want more focused training than our Freestyelrz program offers, with more competition-driven focus giving them the tools they need to develop to compete on the Timber Tour/IFSA National circuits down the road.  This program instills training skills and routines to develop athletes to move into the 2- or 1-Day full SR Performance team and a full schedule of events when they are ready.

Each athlete will develop a YTP with their coach.  Athletes at this level will still train all areas of freestyle which include Moguls, Park and Pipe, Big Mountain.  Athletes must be capable of skiing the mountain on their own and want to compete.

Events will be determined by athlete ability levels and primary focus, but will have a mixture of Super Youth, Regional, IFSA Jr Regional/National Events.  Athletes should look to attend 1-2 events over the season.  Events will be held around BC.   Expenses for coaches at away events will be divided up by the number of athletes that are attending.  Extra coaching days outside of the program you choose will be charged out at $50/day.

*All athletes require a Freestyle Canada/FBC membership in addition to program registration. Athletes competing in the super youth level would need a CLUB level membership.   IFSA membership is require for any IFSA(BigMtn) events attended as well as athletes would have to upgrade their Freestyle BC membership to Provincial level.
