Freeride Athletes Take 19 Top 5 Finishes

The weekend of March 15th-17th marked a monumental achievement for Team Palisades Tahoe. Our Freeride athletes showcased their skills at the Kirkwood International Freeskiers and Snowboarders Association (IFSA) Junior 3* event, which was the final showdown of the season for the IFSA Junior series. Securing an impressive 19 top 5 finishes across 7 categories, clinching the #1 spot in each, it is clear that Team Palisades Tahoe exemplifies the future of Freeride ski and snowboard athletes. This outstanding performance perfectly aligns with our team’s overarching vision: “To be the premier supplier of athletes to the U.S. Ski Team and Freeride World Tour.” Congratulations to the athletes, families, and staff!
