SNOWBOARD

Team Summit has produced athletes at the highest levels including X Games, Olympics, and World Champions!

Team Summit focuses on the skills required to create a well-rounded rider and offers specialized programs for boarder-cross, slopestyle, halfpipe, rail jam, and big mountain.

Program Approach

The U.S. Ski & Snowboard Training Systems have been designed to ensure that all athletes, coaches, and parent members of U.S. Ski & Snowboard have the best possible opportunity to fulfill their athletic dreams and talent. They are based on a long-term athlete development model (LTAD) for skiers and riders that emphasize age-appropriate training and competition.
