2011/2012 Season
The Enrichment program encompasses all snowboard disciplines including slope style, half pipe, alpine, and snowboard-cross. Emphasis is placed on safety as athletes learn to use the features of the terrain park, and perform high speed maneuvers in an alpine setting. Enrichment athletes will take advantage of on-snow training all day Saturday and half day Sunday. Athletes participating in this program will be asked to participate in either one or two days of dryland training at Durango Stillwater Foundation. Participants of this program will have the opportunity to participate in locally hosted events at either Durango Mountain Resort or Chapman Hill. Athletes participating on the Snowboard Enrichment team will also have the opportunity to participate in rail and box training at Chapman Hill.
**NOTE: We must have 5 athletes register for this program to move forward this season.
