dryland Training

Dryland training is an important part of athlete development for both ski and snowboard athletes pursuing competitive pathways. Dry slope and trampoline sessions provide valuable opportunities to develop skills, body awareness, coordination, confidence, and air sense in a controlled environment away from the snow.

These sessions complement on-snow training by allowing athletes to build repetition, refine movement patterns, and progress technical and aerial skills that can transfer directly to their sport.

Dryland opportunities are offered to ski and snowboard athletes based on coach availability, facility access, athlete needs, and program objectives, providing additional training opportunities to support long-term competitive development.

If you are unsure if this training is applicable for your athlete please reach out to a Head Coach or Team Manager to inquire.

Dryland training is primarily intended for current club members, with opportunities communicated internally by email. Occasionally, opportunities may also be shared publicly for prospective members.

As athletes transition from on-snow training to dryland activities, coaches must consider individual athlete abilities, experience, and readiness. These factors are reflected in training plans and help determine appropriate participation opportunities.

What to Expect

Training is focused on air awareness, trick mechanics, and building confidence in a controlled environment. Sessions may be adjusted based on athlete needs, progression, coaching, and facility availability.

Ages:
Best for

  • Ski Athletes in Freestylers or Development levels

  • Snowboard Athletes in Freeriders or Advanced levels

Training Goals

Trampoline: Learn safe bailing techniques, develop an understanding of basic spin and flip mechanics, and improve air awareness.

Airbag: Apply spin and flip mechanics from trampoline to on-snow movements, while developing air awareness and confidence when attempting new tricks.

Overall Goal: Athletes leave with a stronger understanding of aerial mechanics, improved air awareness, and increased confidence progressing new skills.
