High End Newschool Training Program

Do it Mckeeman. We need something like this. All we got is 'Ride Tribe' but that's just a bunch of teenagers who ski recreationally because they don't want to race anymore. Then there the Blackcomb Freestyle Club but that's kind of hurting on the park and pipe side of things. We need something like the Whistler Valley Snowboard Club but for skiers. It should have coaching, dryland training, video analysis, and a class with competition preparation skills etc.

^yea austin thats what i want to do...No regulations, no federations, no sanctions, just killer local kids that want to get better than the guy who goes out by himself...

JUST LIKE the whistler valley snowboard club...if any of you are interested in what im trying to get at (DSPIN7X...) just take a look at www.whistlervalleysnowboardclub.ca

its the same format but for skiers.

When in doubt...FSI

I think it's a great idea. A lot of kids up here have a real passion for skiing and some great potential. It's difficult to discover potential when you spend your weekends skiing with ma and pa. Sometimes all it takes is a little encouragement from a mentor for someone to really start to progress. No one said it will take away from recreational skiing. A program like this is exactly the same as all extra curricular programs out there, soccer, hockey, figure skating dance, and the like. If a kid really likes to ski, and that's what they want to do as their sport, then this is a great opportunity.

 
i hope this goes off

Ryan ,that's a really good idea....you could just make it like a structured crew with you guy's as mentors or something like that..........of course your possee shreads all the time but there's deffinately kids out there with desire and skill but no connections to hook up with a very high level crew that they need to advance and evolve there skills to their highest potential........ and you're idea could provide that....

If you took some time and planned it out so you had kind of as proposal you took to the mountain , they'd be crazy to turn it down. You can help them be a more progressive mtn...........and keep expanding your own career of skiing. Get this done.

 
I think most of us are attracted to skiing for the FUN of it, whats the key word in freeskiing, actualy theres two but FREE, it shouldnt be competitive, it should be all about having fun, thats the perspective of most of us. If we dont have this perspective anymore our sport of freestyle skiing will be changed.

When your not sure about something, just HUCK IT!
 
Yes but on a very small level Derek Foose and I have a program that is now in it's 5th year and we have so far turned out some good kids like the Petite Bros and Kye Petersen not to mention the new age up and comers. With Ryans Idea we can get Our program and others together to be the best if it isn't all ready.

dear concept dude

If skiing wasnt conpetitive we would never have seen the likes of Tanner Hall winner winter X over and over, see our local brotha TJ schiller blow up this past season, etcetera etcetera. Its a sport isnt it so of course its going to be competitive. About 75% of the kids on this site ski for skiing. But the other 25% or smaller want to ski for a living and come out with a career because we love it. And what better job is there than doing something you love and making money doing it. I've said my peace so lets stand by it get someone to sponsor this program and lets make it go off

Thanks for the input guys...In my previous post I said I had a meeting with the mountain today, and with Derek Foose of the WFC.

It looks like there might be a pretty good setup next year...keep your ears peeled...something good is in the works.

Derek Foose was my first instructor ever back in J4. He taught me tons of stuff and we had some sick times together. I'm stoked to hear his club is working out so nicely and I'm glad those kids have a place to go when they wanna shred the whole mountain. Then again, they're not as serious into this as I think Mckeeman is visualizing, and they're little kids.
