Hey this is a message for kids that have been accepted/ applied to the University of Vermont....

Did you know that UVM has a Freestyle Ski Team???
We are a team of about 40 skiers that ride at Stowe and compete in slopestyle, halfpipe, and rail jam events. We have 2 vans that go to the mountain each day, we cover your competition entry fees AND you even get 1 GYM CREDIT!

So, you interested? Wanna learn more? We'd love to meet and ski with you when you visit campus. Email us at freeski@uvm.edu

I just got accepted last week, so I'd probably be down for this (assuming I get a lot better, considering there are comps involved).

i would have to also disagree with that. maybe 1/2 of the kids i know have school paid for by their parents and very few actually have trust funds.
kids at UVM are sick if you choose the right group to roll with. there are def crazy hippies and jocks alike but there are also some of the coolest most fun kids out there at UVM

I got into UVM and will most likely go there. no hate to you all for doing the FST team but i'm definitely not doing it.. personally i'll have more fun riding with a crew and filming for season movie. plus I'm not even sure if I'll get a pass to stowe next year.

best deal for agonizing hour and a half+ trips to jay or riding at tiny ass bolton.  obviously jay is sick but bolton gets kinda old, and you can definitely make it to stowe twice as much as jay because you can leave at 11 and get a half day still.  i wasnt sure if i was right in getting a stowe pass at the beginning of the year but after 40+ days i'm pretty fucking pumped on it

If that's the case, my apologies.

I've heard too many kids saying "Fuck Stowe, I'm not paying $89!!"

They then proceed to brag about how they snuck on the lift without getting caught, and how they're so badass...

haha this is def one of adrian's friends. FST isn't structured that intensely. pretty much i got to use the vans on weekdays which was sick and super fun to go up with a crew of 5 people and be able to lounge. Also if you do comps, the fees get covered. and blatt our filer does do some occasional filming.

and in terms of mountains; if you wanna ride park get stowe or sugarbush. i have riden both for seasons and can confidently say they are the best in the area. stowe is 30 min closer though.

if you just wanna rip trees, get a triple major.

thats dope.

i might be transferring to uvm for the fall..., i go to clarkson and routinely make the 3+ hour drive to jay for my jay only pass, so i will definitely be getting the triple major if i go, hopefully ill  have enough funds for a stowe or bush pass also.

it's been a while but no one has answered my question. Do you have to try out to get on, or is it just the $125 and welcome aboard?

there is an informal application with questions about your interest and ability where video footage is encouraged. its nothing crazy or intimidating, but it helps to sort out the good and interested vs the weak and weekend warriors.
