Snowboarding
The Snowboard group rides all day (9:00 am - 2:30 pm) with a coach. This program concentrates on freestyle ride, slopestyle and racing, encouraging each athlete to improve his or her skills in all disciplines. The athletes should be able to board black trails and link turns switch. The athlete must be at least 10 years old and are required to have a USASA license. Mount Sunapee and USSA require that all athletes wear helmets with hard earflaps.
The practice and competitive schedules will be provided by the head coach, Gretchen Tillson. Mount Sunapee will host a series of fun snowboard events over the course of the season that will be incorporated into the schedule. The competitive schedule will allow for competing and qualifying for the USASA Nationals. All athletes are expected to participate in home events. To increase mileage on our boards, when possible we will offer freeriding with a coach from 2:30-3:30 pm on Saturdays.
