Teams are a vital part of skiing, no one can argue that. And in Alberta we have an excellent track record with our teams. Lets take some examples here; Mike Riddle, Ian Cosco, Roz Groenewoud, Mike Henitiuk, Rory Bushfield, Jon Mcmurray (who now coaches one of those teams), Matt Hayward, and these are just to name a few. Granted a team may not be for everyone, but if you want to excel at this sport the quickest and safest way is with a freestyle team. Look at High level teams like the Canadian and french teams, they dominate Dew tour, X-Games and everything in between.
