Is Alpental Freeride Team The Right Fit?
The expected ability, confidence, and commitment level of participants on this team is higher than any other Summit lesson offering so athletes will be evaluated during a mandatory skill assessment day (12/20/25 or 12/21/25 or 12/27/25) to determine if they qualify for the team.
The team is for skiers and snowboarders between the ages of 12 and 17 that:
- Are serious freeride athletes
- Possess the skills necessary to confidently manage the most challenging of terrain.
- Have or will obtain an IFSA membership for the season, ready to compete.
