Pro-Am Snowboardcross (SBX)

Summer & Winter Snowboard

Pro-Am Snowboardcross (SBX) is designed for riders committed to snowboardcross training. Specific attention is given to each athlete in designing and implementing a realistic competition schedule to maximize performance and improve points. Coaches will focus on isolating and enhancing the various skill sets needed to excel in SBX. All aspects of SBX racing are addressed, including elements of freestyle, gate training, physical conditioning, video review, mental preparation, technical ability, tactical development and equipment preparation. The program includes a comprehensive year-round strength and conditioning program beginning in May and continuing through the winter. The SBX program includes training opportunities with the Pro-Am Race program for athletes competing in both disciplines or those looking to use alpine race training to improve in SBX.
