Freeride Update:

Season preparations are in full swing for both U15 and U19 groups, with dryland training including hikes, mountain bike rides, strength training, and field workouts scheduled weekly for both teams. See PlayMetrics for the full dryland schedule for each group. 

 

IFSA Memberships

All Freeride athletes will need an IFSA membership to register for competitions. Athletes will need both a general IFSA membership and Intermountain Regional dues. Memberships can be purchased HERE. Membership fees will be increasing significantly on September 15th. Please purchase your memberships ASAP to avoid the fee increase. 

 

Team Orientations

 

All athletes and parents new to SBSEF should plan to attend the new athlete orientation at 6:00 pm on September 14th at the Whitmore Library. We will also have an online freeride-specific season orientation for both new and returning athletes. Topics covered in the Freeride team orientations will include team expectations, training schedules, equipment requirements, competition information and schedules, and other team-specific information. The U19 orientation is scheduled for October 5th at 7:00 pm, and the U15 orientation is scheduled for October 12th at 7:00 pm. Both team orientations will be conducted via Zoom. 

 

UOP Stair Challenge

Our annual club UOP Stair Challenge is scheduled for September 22nd from 4:30-6:30 pm at the Utah Olympic Park. Athletes from the Alpine Freeride and Skimo teams will be racing to complete the most laps on the 120-meter jump in 60 minutes. We’ll have prizes for the female and male athlete who completes the most laps.
