Snowboard

For student athletes focused on competitive Snowboarding, Killington Mountain's long season and expansive terrain provide the best on-hill training in the East at our back door. Award winning terrain parks, superior snow conditions, and every type of riding imaginable are waiting for our athletes every day. Our “backyard” has the variety of terrain that allows us to develop athletes to compete at the highest levels of Slopestyle, SnowboardCross, and Alpine competitions. In addition, KMS has just announced our plans to develop a new four season air bag training facility for our athletes.

The Snowboard Program at KMS works on the philosophy that it takes more than just on-hill training to develop a successful student-athlete. In addition to outstanding academics, on-site facilities include an Action Sports Training center that houses Olympic flybed trampolines and balance training equipment. KMS Snowboard team members train daily in the Strength and Conditioning Center, which is equipped with free weights, agility training tools, and more than 20 stationary resistance bikes. These facilities allow KMS coaches to prepare athletes for progression, while helping to minimize injuries on the hill.

KMS Snowboard Team student-athletes continue their tradition of top-level performance in all disciplines of competitive snowboarding. Current team members have achieved success at National events that include multiple podium spots at the 2015 USASA Snowboard Nationals at Copper Mountain, Colorado. They have also secured invitations to participate in highly selective development events like the USSA Project Gold development camps. KMS coaches continue to utilize the latest technology to enable immediate video feedback on the hill, speeding up athlete progression. The coaches have a depth of combined experience in developing and mentoring student-athletes in their transition into successful adults.

KMS provides athletes a progressive foundation toward success in Snowboard competition with academic and non-academic camps, sessions, and season-long programs. KMS offers Snowboard programs for all abilities and ages (6 through 20+).

Athlete development in Snowboard Programs are offered through the following academic and non-academic programs at Killington Mountain School:

• KMS/KSC Development Programs – weekend and extended training for racers of all ages Camps – year-round on-snow camps

• BOOST Sessions – offer grades 6-9 a two-week academy introduction

• Academy Three Month – three-month program for grades 6-8

• Academy Winter-Term – five-month program for grades 7-12

• Academy Full-Term – nine-month program for grades 9-12

Beginning with KMS/KSC Development programs, KMS offers weekend and extended training opportunities for developing young, well-rounded athletes allowing them the opportunity to pursue their love of the sport through training and competition. These programs are the primary development pipelines for the Killington Mountain School. KMS also offers athletes numerous on-snow camp opportunities throughout the United States to expand their training, skills development, and competition opportunities throughout the year.

Though the KMS BOOST Sessions, athletes in grades 6 through 9 are introduced to the Killington Mountain School academy lifestyle. BOOST program participants train with KMS coaches and work with teachers on their academics, just like the student-athletes enrolled in our Academy programs.

Our Three Month, Winter-Term (5 month) and Full-Term (9 month) Academy Programs offer a unique balance of complete athlete training that is supported by a flexible and highly individualized academic program. Our academic and coaching staff allows all of our student athletes to pursue compete ion at the highest levels while maintaining an education standard that is truly exceptional. With an emphasis on sound technical development, KMS strives to create an environment that is fun, supportive, and conducive to learning, and one that is tailored to the needs of each participant.

KMS offers a unique combination of broad coaching knowledge, outstanding academic staff, and exceptional training facilities, and we are stoked to have another successful season!
