Looking For Teen Freeriders At Crystal Mountain, Wash.
Teen freeriders wanted at Crystal Mountain, Wash.
Crystal Mountain, Washington is looking for a few good shredders to enroll in their Youth Team Freeride program this winter.
Youth Freeride Team members will spend a lot of time off-piste learning how to approach steeper and more technical lines, tear up various snow conditions with ease and catch some air. In other words, Crystal will teach young (ages 13-17) skiers and snowboarders to ride sick lines with confidence and style.
How does that happen?
Well, the Youth Team Freeride training includes snow and mountain safety, technical skills and tactics, big-mountain riding and appropriate gear selection and maintenance. The coaches also will pass along information on how to develop a portfolio for possible magazine photo and industry sponsorship deals, as well as divulging the ins and outs of how to sign up for and compete in a freeride competition.
There are three ways to join the Youth Team Freeride circus: a three-day camp over the Christmas holiday period ($204), a six-week Saturday or Sunday option ($408), and a six-week Saturday and Sunday option ($740).
The above quoted prices do not include lift tickets, so for those who don’t possess a Crystal season pass the Christmas session will cost an additional $150, the six-week one-day option is an extra $300, and the six-week two-day option is $600 more.
More information is available at Crystal Mountain's snow sports school page.

The previous comment is correct in that it doesn't matter if you are on a snowboard or a ski - out of control is out of control. If you can't be in control and are being reckless you shouldn't be on the mountain. I wish that resorts would have a no tolerance policy. I have seen so many places issue warning after warning and do nothing becuase they don't want to "alienate" regulars. There shouldn't even be a warning. Your warning is on the back of your lift ticket and posted everywhere. If someone is recklessly out of control and crashes into my family...............- Was this helpful?

Interesting comment. I have a family of six and we ski and SNOWBOARD you need to get off the kick of snowboard rifraff because there are plenty of rude skiers as well. Especially the ones who think their hot stuff and speed and cut off other skiers. I think that people in general like to judge and generalize. I am glad that Crystal is realizing that they need to broaden what they offer. By the way a SKIER last year took out my 12 year old daughter had the nerve to cuss at her then skied off. She had a concussion as a result. Her helmet saved her from severe injury. He was in his 40's-50's and skiing way too fast.- Was this helpful?
