Crabbe Mountain Freeskiers
is a new program geared towards teaching young skiers the
dynamic skills and techniques of progressive free skiing.
Both the All Mountain and Park components of the program,
follow Canadian Freestyle Ski Association program design
Experienced coaches provide direction for freestyle skiing on
terrain park features and transferrable all mountain skills.
Our program intends to place equal importance on both
components creating well-rounded, technically sound free
skiers while encouraging individual creativity, style, selfexpression and fun!
The Mountain
Our backyard boasts the largest vertical drop in the Maritimes
and is home to some of the best terrain in Atlantic Canada.
Through this component of the program, young skiers develop
their skills organically with exposure to steeps, bumps,
ungroomed and natural terrain features in the glades! Skiers
learn, with the guidance of coaches, technique and versatile
skills to shred the whole mountain.
THE PARK
Aimed at teaching the fundamentals of progressive freestyle
skiing in one of the best terrain parks in Atlantic Canada.
Skiers will safely learn on a step-by-step basis the tricks and
maneuvers best suited for their style and abilities both on rails
and jumps. The semi-structured environment fashions a safe
learning experience without restricting the essential creative
and fun elements of skiing.
The Girls
This program is designed to challenge girls to progress their
all-mountain skiing and develop park skills! Coaches provide
an encouraging environment that inspires the girls to have
fun, teaches them to play on their skis while attempting
new tricks, spins, and jumps. This program is unlike typical
ski lessons and aims to develop passionate life-long skiers
capable of conquering any mountain!
THE COACHES
The coaching staff brings a broad range of skill, experience,
and enthusiasm to the table, creating a killer leadership team
ready to take your freeskier to the next level.
Aaron Dowding
The first day my dad strapped me into
my skis I was hooked and that passion
has fueled over 15 years of coaching and
epic pow days. I didn’t truly learn how to
ski until a bunch of mountain cowboys
from Banff took me in and we spent 10 years tackling the big lines
together. I’m going to teach you how to own the mountain like
they do out west – you’ll come away from this program with the
confidence to charge steep lines with speed, hit drops that used to
scare you, and read terrain like a Pro. Come rip with us this year,
we want YOU in our crew!
Sara Roach
My parents had me on skis by 22mths
old, I started ski lessons and began
racing at 8yrs old. Growing up at a
tiny ski resort in Ontario, our coaches
focused on perfecting our technique
and maximizing speed. After high school I moved to Banff, skiing
as many mountains, trees, and back bowls as my legs would allow.
Im looking forward to my 3rd year at Crabbe and the best one yet!
Stefan Curtis
I have been a skier for over 20 years,
many of those seasons were spent at
Crabbe Mountain. I have done it all,
racing, park, urban and even a taste of
big mountain. I consider myself a wellrounded skier, however, my main focus is in the park. Growing
up on the east coast where the snow was not always favorable, I
learned to adapt to all conditions and have fun even on those cold
icy days. I look forward to transferring my rail/jump skills and
sharing my knowledge with our freeski crew!
