The Loon Mountain Freestyle Team offers programs
for intermediate and experienced skiers who have a desire to learn
to ski moguls better, do advanced jumps and compete in United States
Ski Association (USSA) sanctioned competitions around the Northeast.
Their goal is to enhance these children's abilities, teach them
safety and, hopefully, have lots of fun. A staff of highly experienced
coaches focuses on developing the team members in multiple freestyle
disciplines, promoting camaraderie, and creating an enjoyable skiing
and athletic atmosphere. It all adds up to a great time on and off
the slopes.
The team is currently soliciting recommendations
for scholarship candidates. Applications and recommendations for
the scholarships should be submitted to the Team's President, Mike
Fontaine.
