For skiers and boarders with a competitive edge! Team Monarch Competitive Development is for intermediate to advanced athletes seeking to challenge themselves and compete with a focus on Freeride competition.

Each training day includes a hike to reach challenging terrain to advance skills and tactics towards ultimately representing Monarch as a member of the Freeride Team. Athletes are expected to participate in on-mountain mock comps, Town Challenge, Cooper Cup Races, and are strongly encouraged to attend one IFSA Regional level 2* IFSA event.

Prior to joining the Competitive Development program participants must have completed a minimum of one season in the Adventurers or Intro to Comp program, or similar offering from another area and be comfortable skiing or riding High Anxiety at Monarch Mountain.
