The part-time program is designed for athletes who are new to the sport of freeskiing or are less competitively driven. This group focuses on the development of freeskiing fundamentals. Competition is limited and restricted to the regional level (USASA age class, or IFSA RMFS regional events). Athletes will work on freeskiing skill development across the entire mountain including the terrain parks, halfpipe, and big mountain, generally splitting time 50/50 between competition venues and out of the venue.  This program is a non-competitive skill development program focused on creating a team environment to promote technical growth.

*There will be two competitive travel opportunities along with travel camp opportunities to build team cohesion without the competition day focus.  If you decide you want to do more than two competitions there is an option to move you up to the Senior Competitive Team. Email Andy Michnay for more information.
