Snowboard Summer
Snowboarders grow their skills through airbag sessions, trampolines, strength training, and skate camps—building control, confidence, and athletic foundations for winter performance.
Summer Training for Snowboard Athletes
Summer Snowboard programming gives athletes multiple ways to build strength, air awareness, and technical progression before winter. The High Performance Training program offers full-time and part-time options combining airbag sessions at Utah Olympic Park, trampoline progression, and strength training at the US Ski & Snowboard Center of Excellence. These structured sessions help riders develop power, control, and confident fundamentals.
Athletes seeking flexibility can join Airbag or Water Ramp Drop-Ins for focused trick repetition or Sk8 Camp and Water Ramp Camp that build balance and coordination for younger riders. Those wanting on-snow mileage can participate in Mammoth Spring Camps in early or mid-May, as well as the Austria Fall Camp. Together, these offerings provide well-rounded summer training that keeps snowboard athletes progressing year-round.
