Kids love to play on boards and skis weather fast or slow, forward or backward, grinding or jumping. The Mount Kato Park Team provides an environment where kids can learn and develop these skills in a safe, guided environment. Freestyle is a combination of riding and skiing with acrobatics. Where individuals can challenge themselves and the slopes over jumps, rails and boxes. Safety and skill development go hand in hand as participants will learn park etiquette with basic skills while building their range of tricks. Practices are designed to be challenging and fun while helping each individual develop his or her athletic skills and confidence. This program will consist of seven practices plus four competitions with other freestyle teams. additional practices maybe available based on interest.
Giving young skiers and ski racers an opportunity to develop and improve their skills through participation in a quality program that emphasizes safety, fun and skill development. Our developmental team program challenges each athlete to do their best while maintaining the enjoyment of skiing. The skills gained through this program can help individuals build a healthy active lifestyle while participating in a life long sport.
