Program Details

FUNdamentals is our core 16-week snowboard program designed for riders ready to build confidence, improve skills, and most importantly—have fun on snow. Riders should be able to link turns on green and blue runs, and from there our coaches guide them through all-mountain skills, terrain park basics, and progressing to tricks, spins, grabs, and features at a pace that fits their goals.

Groups are formed by age and ability so every rider feels supported, whether just starting in the park or pushing into halfpipe, slopestyle, and boardercross. With sessions split between Park City Mountain and Woodward Park City, athletes gain both strong all-mountain skills and freestyle experience. Families can choose 1–5 days per week, with optional competition-focused add-ons available.

September Dryland (Ages 8+)
The September Fall Dryland program offers three days a week of fun, off-hill training to kick off the season. Athletes will rotate through skateboarding, trampoline sessions at Woodward Park City, and outdoor field days at City Park. These sessions are designed to build coordination, air awareness, agility, and body-weight strength while keeping athletes active and engaged before the snow falls.

October Dryland (Ages 13+)
Our October program shifts to four days a week with a more focused approach. Athletes train at Woodward Park City and the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Center of Excellence, splitting time between strength and conditioning sessions and trampoline training. This program helps athletes develop coordination, strength, and air awareness while preparing for the competitive season. A current USSA membership is required.
