WHAT IS FREESKI?                                                                                                       

Freeskiing started as a movement away from traditional ‘Freestyle’ and ‘Alpine’ skiing such as Moguls, Aerials, and all types of Alpine Racing. Today the realm of ‘Freeski’ disciplines include Big Mountain and Park N' Pipe (Slopestyle, Halfpipe, Big Air, Ski Cross and Rail Jam).

WHAT IS BIG MOUNTAIN?                                                                      

The Big Mountain Program is geared for skiers who love the mountains, enjoy exploring new terrain, and want to progress as an “all around” skier. Athletes achieve the advanced skills needed to ski all aspects of the mountain through on hill training and dry land training. Athletes also ski the mountain's terrain parks to develop air awareness and work on tricks that translate over to big mountain settings. Training is offered at world class venues including Park City Mountain and Utah Olympic Park. Big Mountain athletes compete at the Regional and National level.

WHAT IS PARK & PIPE?                                                                           

The Park & Pipe programs focus on terrain parks and across the mountain skiing a combination of rails, jumps, halfpipe, and other transition features. Training is offered at world class venues including Park City Mountain, Utah Olympic Park and Woodward Park City. Competitions are held at the local, regional, national and international levels. Athletes compete in the disciplines of Slopestyle, Big Air, Halfpipe, and Rail Jam.
