Sport Team – Snowboard

Team Palisades Tahoe’s next step after Mighty Riders and a bridge toward Competitive Team programs. This development program is designed for riders who want to continue building strong technical skills while exploring different disciplines of snowboarding in a supportive team environment. Athletes train across Freeride, Snowboard Cross, and Park, while gaining confidence and experience both on the mountain and in entry-level competitions. 

• Focus: Progression, exploration, and all-mountain riding. Athletes build the skills and confidence to ride the entire mountain while exploring Freeride, Boarder Cross, and Park. The goal is to develop well-rounded snowboarders who are comfortable in a variety of terrain, features, and riding styles. 

• Technique: Developing strong fundamentals with an emphasis on control, edge work, speed management, and adaptability across varied terrain and snow conditions. 

• Tricks/aerials: Riders continue progressing on jumps, natural features, and freestyle skills while building confidence in park and natural terrain. 

• Equipment: Snowboards designed for versatility and progression across a variety of terrain and conditions. 

• Competitions: With coach approval, athletes will have opportunities to compete in Palisades Tahoe Freeride Events and gain an introduction to United States of America Snowboard and Freeski Association competitions, building experience while preparing for future competitive opportunities.
