Sunday Training

A beautiful cold day at Killington with the Presidential range in the background.

As the freestylers focused on down bars, the Fast and the Furious pumped rollers, trained GS and searched bittersweet for double and triple jump lines.

Gingerbread Houses

Untitled from KMS Snowboard on Vimeo.


KMS students faculty and staff are evenly divided into six teams for various duties around campus like snow shoveling, cleaning and for fun stuff like bowling tournaments and tonight's shennanigans: Gingerbread House making. Check out the video of the (almost) six teams' final products.

Our Newest Addition To Our Snowboard Coaching Staff!


My name is Wally Campbell and I will be the Coach for the weekend Snowboard Stars this season at KWSC/KMS. I come to the program from the New England Handicapped Sports Association, NEHSA, at Mt Sunapee. At Mt Sunapee I worked with children of all ages, adults and veterans who wanted to learn to snowboard. In addition to teaching and training staff I was also the Snowboard program coordinator for the past 13 seasons at NEHSA. My home town is Dracut, MA and my son Collin and I travel to Killington weekly. I am AASI Level I and AASI Adaptive Level I certified and look forward to helping the KWSC/KMS athletes discover the exciting world of competitive snowboarding.

Wednesday Training


Raining in the valley, but clear up top...sometimes. This morning's workout went long, leaving us a short on hill session of spring like corn snow, barespot jumping and terrain reading. We always get something out of training...even though it might not be what we planned.

The forecast calls for snow tonight, finally! Keep your fingers crossed!

Stair Session

Fun in any weather

Team Building Tuesday



Tuesday Mornings start with team building in the gym. Freeskiers and snowboarders train together; we may stand facing different directions, but we see the mountain in very similar ways and we go to the same contests!

Brothers gotta hug!

Sunday 12/4 Training


Logan Farmer cranks a sick heelside turn on Sunday before the crowds overwhelmed us and we split from Killington. After 2 excellent hours of training on heelside turn edge engagement and terrain pumping, we headed to Greem Mountain Rock Climbing Center for some cross training- nothing like core strengthening, agility and balance skill work 40 feet off the ground!

Think snow!
