Program
The Sundance Snowboard Team is a developmental program working in conjunction with the competition team of “Team Utah”. The Sundance team is designed to teach young athletes the fundamentals of free riding and freestyle at a competition level. Half our training time will be in the Sundance Terrain Park, the other training time will be spent riding different sections of the mountain. Athletes will ride and train on moderate and advanced terrain to learn the essentials. More challenging terrain and features will be used strategically to help the athletes boost their skill level and develop their comfort zones.



Competition Information
Sundance Snowboard Team members will have the opportunity to participate in local Youth Riding Competitions, based on age groups. Parents are responsible for transporting their riders to and from competitions.



Skill Level
As a minimum, riders must be aggressive and confident on most terrain. Riders should be comfortable on “blue” terrain, and wanting to start riding “black” terrain. Participants should also have a desire to ride small – medium terrain features.
