Freeride Development
FREERIDE DEVELOPMENT TEAM
Our Freeride Development team offers intermediate and advanced athletes the opportunity to further develop their skiing and riding with a focus on off-piste terrain. Freeride Development is the perfect next step from our Ski and Ride School lessons, giving athletes the experience and skills they need to progress to our Freeride Team.
We offer a three-week Saturday December program, six-week Saturday or Sunday sessions in Winter (January) and Spring (February–March). However, our most highly recommended packages are the Peak Season (January + February, 12 sessions) and Full Season (December–March, 15 sessions) bundles.
We highly recommend the Peak or Full Season package for the consistency and progression that come from your child or teen working towards their goals all season. This sustained focus will help your child or teen maximize results, establish rapport with coaches and participants, and gain a firm grip on Crystal's various terrains. However, if you need more flexible options, the December, Winter, or Spring sessions are also excellent.
Please note that we don't provide lunch for this program.
The Full-Season Session includes December, Winter, and Spring programs and offers athletes 15 weeks of coaching on Saturdays and Sundays. Starting in December and continuing through Spring, athletes benefit from a consistent coaching environment that supports long-term progression and team cohesion. With 15 weeks of focused instruction, they’ll have all season to build freeride skills, conquer new terrain, and reach their peak performance.
