FreeRide Training & Competition Teams
Whether you’re racing the Tram to the bottom, blasting through the trees beyond Beaver, arcing carves around gates, or tweaking your latest tricks in the parks, our professional coaches will help you develop personal goals and sharpen skills both as a team and as individuals. Experience challenging new lines, powder stashes in the trees, hard carves on morning corduroy, laps in the park, or new ways to approach natural features. If competing interests you, our coaches have years of competition experience, judging and training competitors – they’re ready to bring that knowledge to the team. Our weekly meets can cover everything from terrain park sessions to technical glade riding and attacking the steepest runs Jay Peak has to offer.

FREERIDE TRAINING TEAM
AGES 7-17
We train athletes in various disciplines including Big Mountain Extreme, Slopestyle, and Skier/Boarder Cross. Though we train under a competitive structure, athletes only compete if they are ready and willing. Some of our athletes do not compete and others attend as many events as possible, but everyone likes ripping around Jay with a group of like-minded athletes and coaches.
We ask that our athletes can ski/ride at a level where they are confident on basic black diamond terrain and that they maintain a positive attitude, and we will take care of the rest.
