Snowboard Mini Shreds 2 Day Program

Snowboard Mini Shreds 2 Day is designed for young athletes who are ready to build on their introduction to snowboarding with increased time on snow and more consistent training. This program focuses on developing strong foundational skills while allowing athletes to progress more quickly through repetition and structured coaching.

Athletes continue to refine core snowboard fundamentals, including balance, turning, edge control, and terrain awareness. Training includes a mix of drills, guided riding, and fun, engaging activities that help build confidence and consistency across varied terrain.

With two days of training each week, athletes benefit from increased exposure and coaching, helping accelerate progression in a supportive environment.

Volunteer Requirements

Points Required: 160

SSCV relies heavily upon the generosity of hundreds of volunteers who give thousands of hours to help with competitions, fundraising and various Club tasks and events. Volunteer points are earned by completing volunteer jobs, and these jobs are assigned a specific number of points based upon difficulty and time needed for completion. SSCV requires each family to complete a predetermined amount of volunteering based upon the programs in which they are involved. The number of points required per family is based upon the athlete’s program (and in the case of multiple athletes, it will be the program in which the most time-committed athlete participates).

There are numerous opportunities, both on and off the snow, throughout the year from May 1, 2026 – April 30, 2027. Opportunities will be shared with families via email as they arise.

Failure to meet your obligation could result in an evaluation of your family’s fit with the program and SSCV culture of volunteerism.

For questions regarding volunteer requirements, point balances, or on-snow opportunities, please contact Land Collioure Le Coq at llecoq@skiclubvail.org. For off-snow and event-related opportunities, please contact Liz Filipowicz at lfilipowicz@skiclubvail.org.

Please note that failure to meet volunteer requirements may result in a reevaluation of your family’s participation in SSCV programs and alignment with the club’s culture of volunteerism.

Facilities + Technical Support

Training takes place on Vail Mountain, utilizing beginner to intermediate terrain that supports safe progression and skill development.

Athletes may also be introduced to terrain features at Vail Ski & Snowboard Academy, allowing for gradual progression into freestyle elements as skills develop.

Strength Training

At this level, athletes continue to build strong movement patterns, coordination, and balance on a snowboard. Increased time on snow helps reinforce consistency and confidence.

Off-snow development remains age-appropriate, focusing on coordination, agility, and general athletic movement. Athletes are also introduced to basic equipment awareness and safe riding practices.
