FREESTYLE SKI & SNOWBOARD
"Freestyle skiing is the ultimate expression of freedom and creativity on the slopes. It's about breaking free from convention, pushing boundaries, and blazing your own trail." - SkierBOB
The freestyle team at Sky Tavern invites ski and snowboard students to experience the world of big mountain, park-specific features, and USASA North Tahoe competitions. The program starts in November with 8+ weeks of dryland training focusing on core and strength-building. Gymnastics training is also a weekly practice for 8+weeks and will focus on air awareness, strength building, and rotational awareness. Once Sky Tavern opens, students will take the skills learned in the gym to the snow and focus heavily on the terrain park and big mountain riding. Kids will learn from AASI/ PSIA Certified Freestyle coaches how to safely hit jumps, boxes, rails, and natural features while also building camaraderie, mountain etiquette, and a stronger passion for the sport.
We are grateful for our guest freestyle coaches that come to visit, David Wise, Shelly Robertson, Lane Spina, Bob Howard.
Want to join the team? We are always looking for more freestyle terrain park coaches and park crew members. If you would like to become a member of Sky Tavern and participate in the coaching experience, please contact: freestyle@skytavern.com
Freestyle Team
The freestyle team at Sky Tavern invites ski and snowboard students to experience the world of park riding, big mountain, and USASA North Tahoe competitions. The program starts once a snow base is in place. Training will begin on snow and focus on air awareness, strength building, and rotational awareness. Once Sky Tavern officially opens, students will take the skills learned in the lower park to the main park and focus heavily on boxes, rails, jumps, and big mountain riding. Kids will learn from USASA/AASI/ PSIA-certified freestyle coaches who will help each athlete develop their skills through structured classes, one-on-one coaching, and guided discovery. This program is offered to level 6 and higher athletes. Additionally, athletes must be able to consistently link turns without stopping on the 5 hill, feel comfortable skiing/riding in trees, and can ski/ride switch down the 4 bowl.

Our main terrain park is located near the top of the mountain, tucked away in its own area. It is equipped with a bumpin' stereo system, The Mountain Cafe, and some of the coolest skiers and snowboarders in the area, creating a fun and progressive atmosphere not found at any other resort.
