Snowboard Youth Weekend 2 and 3 Day Program

The Snowboard Youth Weekend Team is designed for athletes who are ready to take the next step in their snowboarding progression within a structured and supportive environment. This program focuses on building well-rounded riders through a combination of all-mountain development and freestyle progression.

Athletes continue to refine core riding skills while expanding into more advanced terrain, including groomers, trees, bumps, and terrain park features. Coaching emphasizes control, confidence, creativity, and consistency, helping athletes develop across all aspects of snowboarding.

The 2-day and 3-day options provide flexibility for families while allowing athletes to increase consistency and accelerate progression with more time on snow.

Calendar

The Snowboard Youth Weekend Team runs during the winter season, typically from November through March, with training held on weekends and select holidays.

Athletes may have the opportunity to participate in local and regional snowboard competitions, including slopestyle and big air events, depending on readiness and interest. A detailed calendar outlining training sessions, competition opportunities, and key program dates is provided prior to the season.

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.

Facilities + Technical Support

Training takes place on Vail Mountain, utilizing a wide range of terrain including groomers, trees, bumps, and terrain park features to support well-rounded rider development.

Athletes also train at Vail Ski & Snowboard Academy, including access to progression-based terrain and training features when appropriate.

Strength Training

Athletes begin to take a more structured approach to their development, focusing on consistency, control, and progression across all-mountain and freestyle environments.

Off-snow development includes coordination, balance, and strength in an age-appropriate format, supporting increased training volume and physical demands. Athletes are also introduced to equipment awareness and setup to optimize performance.
