Freeride Program

Freeride programs are the fastest growing ski competitive product that can be found in the industry around the world.  ASC’s The program is formatted around the International Freeskiers and Snowboarders Association (IFSA) Junior Freeride Competition Tour (www.freeskiers.org). Our athletes train with experienced coaches to hone their skills in all aspects of freeskiing, with a heavy focus on the fundamentals of freeride: Line Choice, Technique, Style, Fluidity and Control.

Designed for competitive freeride amd freeskiing athletes ages 10-18. this program will be fluid in terms of training specific competitive focuses on any given day. Groups will optimize the focus for each day based on snow and weather conditions at Alyeska. Athletes can expect to have coach directed trick practice, technique drills, assessments or mini-competitions, video analysis, mentoring with older athlete role models, and of course, freeskiing with a group of some of the best freeskiers on the mountain.

IMPORTANT: All athletes are selected during tryouts in the spring – Tryouts are required for all programs. All athletes must place their intent to compete in at least one IFSA sanctioned freeride competition.
