About:
About:
Lincoln HS's Freestyle Ski Team is a dynamic sports group allowing skiers to improve their abilities on the mountain, with the capacity to coach 40-50 people. All park skiers will have the opportunity to progress together as a community. Taking part in competitions is encouraged! 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 for the skiers while still enabling them to enjoy the slopes with their new skills.

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.
