Freestyle Team

Whitefish Mountain Resort's Freestyle Team trains skiers and snowboarders ages 8-18 on a wide variety of freestyle and off-piste freeride skills. The program includes three teams geared for different ages and skill levels, and our experienced coaches tailor instruction to meet each athlete’s progression goals.

Through weekly practices, positive mentoring and ample time on the slopes, athletes can learn aerial tricks on park features, natural terrain selection, tree well safety, avalanche awareness, competition prep and more.

To be eligible, your child must meet the minimum age requirement by Dec. 1, 2026. We may require proof of age.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are payment plans available?

Yes, 2-Payment Plans are available online only through Sept. 30, 2026. The first half of the program cost will be due at checkout, and the second half will automatically be charged to your credit card on Nov. 8, 2026.

What is the refund and attendance policy?

Program fees may be refunded in full through Nov. 15, 2026. Refund requests must be submitted in writing. We do not offer partial refunds — or transfers of payments to group lessons or other programs — for students who miss class due to temporary illness, other hobbies or events, or any other personal choice. Due to differences in curriculum, age requirements and training schedules, we cannot offer alternative dates or make-up classes due to missed attendance. Please do your best to attend all scheduled practices; showing up for a half day is better than missing a whole day.

Does my child need to try out for the team?

No, but we recommend new team members be able to comfortably ski or ride every groomed run on the mountain. Skiers should use parallel turns throughout; snowboarders should ride both heel- and toe-side. Prior participation in our Development Team through the blue level, or participation in a comparable program, is strongly recommended as well.

Do team members have to compete?

No, competing is encouraged but not required. We have coaches at all home mountain events, which include rail jams, slopestyle contests, and banked slalom and boardercross races for a variety of skill levels.

What happens during extreme weather?

Practices may be canceled or postponed when our mountain operations team deems weather conditions unsafe. Extreme wind or cold temperatures may force us to close chairlifts or terrain. We also encourage each family to consider what is best for their child's comfort and well-being.

Are lift tickets or rental gear included?

No, lift tickets and rental equipment are not included in the cost of programs.

What about lunch?

Meals are not included in the cost of the program. Freestyle Team participants are encouraged to bring lunch or purchase food while on the mountain. Coaches will determine the time and place for lunch to meet the needs of the team.

What is Your Responsibility Code?

In addition to skiing and snowboarding skills, we teach all students Your Responsibility Code, a set of important safety guidelines developed by the National Ski Areas Association.
