While many team members do compete regionally, competition is not required to be a member of the team. The Loon Mountain Freestyle Ski Team training program is open to any competent skier who is interested in learning the fundamentals of Freestyle skiing. Beginning with basic skills, team members receive instruction in moguls, acroski and upright aerial jumping in an atmosphere of sportsmanship, camraderie and fun. The skills acquired prepare team members to participate in regional freestyle skiing competitions. Advanced Freestyle Skiing Advanced training and competition skills are offered to the more experienced skier who has demonstrated the ability to ski moguls and novice freestyle skiers who have had exposure to moguls, upright aerial jumping and acroskiing.
Skiers train in small groups, divided by ability and receive outstanding coaching.
All members of the Loon Mountain Freestyle Ski Team who intend to compete in freestyle skiing competitions are required to become competition-licensed members of the US Ski Association. If you are currently not a USSA member, an application will be provided for you. While we encourage competition, however, it is not necessary that a member competes in any freestyle skiing events.
