SARS FREERIDE PROGRAMS

Registration information can be found at the bottom of this page.

The SARS Freeride Program encompasses both snowboarding and skiing for athletes aged nine and older. Our staff is qualified to safely coach athletes in the skills of skiing and snowboarding in "Cross" races, Terrain Park Slopestyle event participation as well as All-Mountain freeride skills. The enthusiastic athlete that would like to compete within the region will be prepared and supported at arenas such as local USASA competitions, Regional Competitions, and USASA National Championship events. One day program athletes will typically compete closer to home at Schweitzer Slopestyle and Ski/Board Cross races.

New this season, athletes will have the option of participating in a 1 day snowboard program on Sunday with snowboard specific coaching. 2 and 3 day per week athletes may choose to ski Friday and Saturday and Snowboard Sunday if having a well rounded skill set is your goal.

Youngsters aged 5-8 interested in joining SARS may see our YSL registration page. Here kids are exposed to entry level terrain park skiing as well as competitive ski racing. The majority of training time is spent honing racing as well as all-mountain skills while gaining a love and appreciation for the sport and competing in Home Series races as well as the Grom Stomp Games.

Freeride Holiday Camp Holiday camp is a great way to try the program out. SARS offers five straight days of skiing and riding beginning December 27th. Athletes will work on the technical aspects of skiing and riding while having a great time in small groups. If athlete decides to upgrade to a season long program, the camp cost will be applied to the appropriate program.
