One program. Two tracks. One mountain.

Loveland Freeride is a freeride development program for athletes ages 10–18, offered as a One-Day or Two-Day commitment. Both tracks train under the same professional coaching staff, build the same mountain skills, and develop athletes for IFSA competition and a lifetime on big terrain.

23 years of coaching. One mountain. Same crew.

Our coaching staff brings decades of combined experience, IFSA certifications, avalanche training, and wilderness medicine qualifications. This is professional athlete development led by coaches who have built their careers — and their lives — at this mountain.

Meet the Coaches

Don't take our word for it.

Our goal is to create lifelong skiers who love the sport and love the mountains as much as we do and have the confidence and mountain skills to explore them safely both inside and outside the ropes.
— The Scheremeta Family
The coaching, progression, and confidence our son gained in a single season were remarkable. More than anything, it deepened his love for skiing in a way we hadn’t seen before.
— The Williams Family
The events they host at Loveland are among the best we have experienced — well-organized, safe, and supported by meaningful sponsorships and prizes. ‘Nobody puts on a big mountain event better than Eben and Darcee.’
— The Schaefer Family

Life on the mountain.
