Freestyle Program

Freestyle Program

This seasonal program is for all mountain skiers and riders ages 7–17 years old who wish to expand their freeriding skills. Various skiing and riding terrain will be explored, including (conditions permitting) riding switch, boxes, rails, ollies, nollies, taps, trees, and more. The main focus is centered around Smart Style, an industry-wide set of freestyle standards and park etiquette. Participants can expect to have a lot of fun learning the ins & outs of Catamount while gaining an experience that will be remembered for life!

We have added a USASA competition freestyle team to our options this season. Each team member who is competing must become a USASA member, and we will be competing in the Southern New England Series. For more information, please email [email protected].

Requirements

• Freestyle skiers: Comfortable skiing backwards and skiing all terrain on the mountain in closed-track parallel.
• Freestyle boarders: Comfortable riding switch, carving on blue terrain, and linking turns on blue/black terrain.
• Helmets: Required for all program participants.

Important Notes

• Please select the correct program for your child’s ability level. Underestimating is easier to adjust than overestimating.
• Children who do not meet the minimum ability level and chairlift ability will be moved to other programs based on availability.
• Please arrive for drop off at 9:30am in the Berkshire Room of the Berkshire Lodge.
• Groups go out on the snow at 10:00am. Late arrivals may need to wait until the next run and will not receive rescheduling, refunds, or credits.
• Children must arrive dressed and ready for snow.
• Parents are responsible for picking up rental equipment and gearing up children.
• Due to chairlift capacity, children may be required to ride the lift without an instructor.
• Please register with an email you check regularly; most program communication will be via email.
