Stevens Pass Alpine Club’s Freeride Team (SPAC-FT) is a holistic, all mountain skiing and snowboarding program designed for skiers and snowboarders who want to progress their skills, build confidence, increase their knowledge, be part of the mountain community, and further their passion for winter sports. SPAC-FT’s approach focuses on technique necessary to navigate big mountain/freeride, terrain parks (jumps, rails, and features) and competition.

VALUES

• Progressing Skills (regardless of skill level) in all areas of Skiing and Snowboarding –expanding boundaries while having fun.
• Mountain Community Participation is a huge part of what we do, fostering a supportive atmosphere where athletes grow and demonstrate mountain stewardship.
• Competition is not a requirement to be on this team. However, we celebrate and coach athletes who want to compete in Big Mountain/Freeride, Park/Freestyle and Cross Disciplines.
• Perspective, Resiliency, and Metal Toughness are all attributes our athletes are required to practice each week as the training we do requires these qualities to succeed.
• Respect Gets Respect as each athlete experiences/performs differently.
• Mindfulness, Humility & Kindness. The work we do on and off the slopes is not for everyone. With these values in mind, our training is
  conscious of our peers, coaches, parents, sponsors and others at different levels within both Skiing and Snowboard.
