About:
About:
Lincoln HS's Freestyle Ski Team is a dynamic sports group allowing skiers of all levels to improve their abilities on the mountain, with the capacity to coach 40-50 people. All park and free-ride skiers will have the opportunity to progress together as a community. Taking part in competitions is encouraged, but if the rider just wants a low stakes weekly trip to the mountain, that's ok too. We aim to provide a positive environment to all skiers and foster new friendships among different people with similar interests. Our coaches and volunteers will work to provide a safe experience fot the skiers while still enabling them to enjoy the slopes with their new skills.
Practice:
Practice:
We typically schedule eight coached practices on Wednesdays at Mt. Hood Meadows. Bus transportation to and from the ski resort is provided. Buses and chaperones leave LHS at 2:15pm and arrive back at LHS around 11:00pm. All students must have a confirmed ride home from Lincoln in advance. We rely on chaperones each week to help organize, ensure bus etiquette, etc.
Provided the club is able, dinner is provided for team members and chaperones. And lift tickets are generally gifted to chaperones from Meadows, valid for the evening they attend.
Coaching:
Coaching:
Coaches lead groups of riders through free-ride and available park features. Practices will include mountain safety and etiquette. Riders are encouraged to take advantage of our talented coaches to advance existing skills, prep for competitions, or free-ride safely in groups with friends. The plans for each practice vary according to mountain conditions.
