Anyone interested in the Freestyle Team, now entering its second year as a combined ski and snowboard program, should attend the meeting to learn more about what the program offers. Some of the approximately 40 current members and coaches of the team will be on hand to answer questions. The meeting will last until 8:00 p.m.
“We had a lot of fun last year,” said Freestyle Team Director Steve Knox. “The skiers and boarders got along great. Of course, most of them are already friends anyway.”
The team does its training in the Fishbowl Terrain Park, on the Jump Hill (named Knox’s Landing after Coach Knox), and all over the mountain on powder days.
“Members of the team are interested in learning new tricks and improving freestyle skills, and that’s what we teach them,” said Knox.
The team also competes in freestyle events, including the 11 that Whitefish Mountain Resort will be hosting this season.
This year, Knox’s team of coaches is Andrew Johnson, Erik Johnson, Jay Dobbins and newcomer Kyle Duty.
“These guys are some of the best skiers and riders on the mountain,” said Knox. The coaching team has a combined 40 years of competition freestyle ski and snowboarding experience.
