MRT is in the process of developing a snowboarding program. This program is a part of the Big Mountain Team, and snowboard athletes would ride with our freeride ski athletes. We are very excited to offer more options to Mt. Hood families and continue to support athletes to get outside and participate in snow sports. This is for snowboard athletes that can ride black diamond terrain and are interested in learning competition skills, risk management in exposed terrain, and mastering fundamentals to be successful in said terrain. This program is on an individually approved basis.
We would like to know who would be interested so that we can have an idea for a head count. The plan at this point is to have a snowboarding coach on Sundays only, but a snowboarder can ride on Saturdays with a ski group. We have multiple ski coaches that also snowboard and can still coach snowboard athletes on technique.
Please reach out John Rust the director at director@meadowsraceteam.org with questions or if you are interested in the program.
