Program Pathway
In support of providing a training program to enable athletes to compete and gain experience at each of the levels outlined above, Fastride Snowboard Camps have developed the following program offerings.
Junior Foundation and Progression Camp
Location: Copper Mountain, Colorado, USA (and other locations based on event schedule) Dates: Late December to early February
Duration: 3-5 weeks
Overview: Junior program for athletes aged 13-16 years focused on solidifying foundational skills across freeride, park, SBX and gaining international competition experience. Program will include opportunities for USASA competition experience (pending published competition schedule) to provide athletes the opportunity to qualify for USASA nationals later in the season (March/April).
​
Spring Foundations and Progression Camp
Location: Mammoth Mountain, California, USA
Dates: Easter School Holidays
Duration: 2-4 weeks
Overview: The longest running and main highlight of the annual Fastride camp program for many, the Mammoth Mountain spring camp is a chance for athletes to have fun and focus on fine tuning skills and building confidence. Catering for athletes from junior to senior levels and focused on all round skill development, park, freeride and SBX skills development this program makes the most of what Mammoth has to offer in the northern hemisphere spring including the world class parks. A great opportunity to fine tune skills prior to the start of the southern hemisphere season and the first step for many on the start of their international training progression. The scheduling of the Mammoth Camp usually coincides with the USASA nationals allowing athletes who have qualified earlier in the northern hemisphere season to return and participate in USASA nationals in Colorado before attending the Mammoth Camp in California.
