​
Junior Rippers is a program for our youngest athletes to become familiar with and receive instruction in alpine and freestyle disciplines. It is an opportunity for young skiers and snowboarders to feel out where their passion lies before committing to a Big Mountain, Race (snowboard only), or Freestyle program. These kids focus on learning fundamental skills and techniques, freestyle progressions, mountain exploration and safety, terrain park etiquette, and good sportsmanship through age-appropriate experiences including games and guided discovery. Jr Rippers compete in at least one USASA or IFSA event. There are multiple opportunities to participate in a home event (at Stowe) or a local IFSA Friendly (just for fun).​​
