FREERIDE DIRECTOR ANNOUNCEMENT:

It is a little of the “Back to the Future” for SBSEF.  The original  SBSEF Freeride Director, Rob Greener, will be returning to that role effective July 1st.   Rob will hit the ground running, and you can expect to hear from him soon in regard to upcoming programming. We anticipate a smooth transition given Rob’s significant history and experience with both SBSEF and IFSA.

Rob grew up in Boise Idaho and raced for the Bogus Basin Ski Education Foundation.  Rob knew he wanted to ski powder and following his older brother’s footsteps, moved to Salt Lake and raced for the Snowbird Sports Education Foundation.  During that time, he credits the “original freeride team” to following Vinnie around the Bird in the mornings, then training gates on the race hill in the afternoon.   A few years later while pursuing big mountain skiing, he noticed a need for a Freeride program at Snowbird.  During that first season 2004-2005, we had seven athletes on the team.  Now fast forward to 2024-2025 and we’ll have approximately 100!  Over the last nineteen years, Rob has served as Director, Head Coach, Regional Coach, and weekend coach.  Rob has also run Snowbird’s IFSA comps for the last (how many?) years.  He has two daughters who will be on the U14 and Jfast teams this coming season.

FREERIDE UPDATE:

Greetings Freeride Family!

I appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding over the last two weeks of the program being in flux.  Overall, I’m thrilled to be back as the SBSEF Freeride Director and excited to celebrate the program’s 20th year anniversary.  I want to thank Will Dujardin and his commitment and hard work that has gone into the program over the past three years.  I look forward to building on this momentum and the future of SBSEF Freeride!

In the immediate, we’ll close out the season with our last spring camp scheduled this weekend (May 11/12) and tryouts next weekend (May 18/19.)  Stay tuned for more information regarding summer Woodward training and South America this August.

I hope you take part in the SBSEF family survey and reach out if you have any questions or concerns, or if you just want to say “hello!”

All the best,

SBSEF Freeride Director
