We Made It!

Well folks, we made it! What a wild season it was (or wasn't). It was challenging, but I can honestly say that the athletes got better… way better! I witnessed new tricks and landed contest runs that were a result of the hard work from athletes and coaches. I know that we didn't get as many Powder days, but the time in the Parks paid off!

The Nationals Hoodie is available on the PCSS Store. There is a youth size option as well – you have to scroll a little to find it.
Nationals
PCSS Snowboard had 16 athletes travel to Copper Mountain, CO for the USASA Nationals Competition. Nationals is a wild ride – part family reunion and part snowboard competition. It's six days of competition, including Halfpipe, Slope Style, Rail Jam, BoarderCross, Slalom, and Giant Slalom. The best kids from across the US are invited, so it's the next level of competition for our younger athletes. Here are some results:
