GROUPS With a lot of new athletes joining the program, the first weekend of the program will predominantly be used to assess which group athletes are best suited to. Skills assessments will be conducted in the school holidays on all athletes, covering a wide range of on snow skills, and freestyle specific actions like jumping, carving on groomed runs, moguls, park, rails etc.. The head coaches from each program area will work with the coaches to place athletes in respect to age, ability and mix of genders.

First Weekend of TBR 2025 Winter Program
