Focus:  This program is designed for younger athletes that want more focused training than our Freestylerz 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 Shred Series, Regional, IFSA Jr, Regional Events within the Elk Valley.  Athletes should look to attend 1-2 events over the season.  Events will be held around BC but primary in the Elk Valley for this level.   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.

To get a jump on thinks look at our Off Season training options for some extra camps to develop athletes air awarness and foundational skills before we hit the snow.

*All athletes require a Freestyle Canada/FBC membership in addition to program registration. Athletes competing in the Shred Series level would need a CLUB level membership.   IFSA membership is require for any IFSA(BigMtn).
