Literally only place in southern vt with jumps. Anyone else feel like every year they setup the parks the exact same way, with rail locations, pads and big pills/spines? It's been pretty stagnant over the past 5 years I've skied

SMS is and has been regarded as one of the best mountain schools, that probably reflects why it’s even more outrageous than others like vail. Fuck that though

Most ski academies are run separately from the mountain. Some mountains say fuck parks and it's not like the school can just snap their fingers and summon a good park. As someone who loves to shit on SMS in particular, I'm sure they and most of their athletes would prefer Stratton just have good parks than have to drive an extra 30 mins to Mount Snow.

I agree with you and Kila but 60 features across their parks in December outweighs the few complaints I have by a mile (not saying you're ungrateful lol). At least they still have some priority, whereas Okemo has gutted their parks over the past 5ish years (# of park trails reduced, late setups, etc.).

Yeah i remember they did a preseason hike park a few years. Hitting rails mid october on the east coast was pretty heady.

We used to drive up post season and set up rails and then skate the mini. Such a vibe!

I hold onto it in my heart and think about it on those cold lonely nights when I need to see some good in the world.

So did we ever get an answer on what the end goal is for freeskiers attending these schools? They can't even leverage their skills for college admissions since no college freeskiing teams actively recruit or dole out scholarships. That's the common justification for racers and XC skiers.

There's also legitimately zero opportunity from a career standpoint. It's well established that freeskiers make no money outside of a select few. Why would a presumably well-educated, successful family consider it a viable option for their kid? The only exception might apply to families with fuck you money where long-term career prospects don't matter.

well they’re athletes took home 4 medals last olympics and they would have ranked 17th if that tiny school was its own country. thats what this article says at least. must be small because in 50 years, they haven’t even had 1,000 total students. so that averages to less than 20 students per class.

also, if you want your kid to get on a d1 college team perhaps on a full ride then maybe something like this would be the way to go but pretty sure schools don’t give scholarships for park pipe nor freeride but i could totally be wrong on that.

definitely coming from fuck you money though



edit: forgot the article lol

"Shortly following sunrise, students hit the mountain to train in either Nordic, alpine, freestyle, freeski or snowboarding. They remain on the mountain until noon, getting a solid four hours of work in before heading to class from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. Study hall starts at 7 and ends at 8:45 p.m., and the students are in bed by 9:30 p.m."

^I totally support this type of scheduling. lol pretty sure programs at Hood run similar hours. A lot of times I will just be rolling up on my first chair of the day and I see a whole parade of people with some sort of academy or camp or something leaving the mountain with all kinds of extra bags and shouldering extra skis etc.

Fair enough - I guess freeskiing's Olympic debut changes the conversation a bit. I'm pretty sure Mac Forehand is an SMS alum. That being said, the vast majority of the school's olympic medals have come from racing and XC over the years.

I knew a few kids that went to SMS growing up and the schedule is confirmed sick. They basically skied 80% of the winter and did a few hours of homework per week. I would definitely be questioning my investment as a parent though lol.

Wikipedia

The school has produced 46 Olympic athletes who have won six medals (3 gold, 1 silver, and 2 bronze).


If you're pulling in $1mil plus a year in salary not even counting investments, this is chump change. Easy way to send your kids off somewhere to be out of your hair and especially if they have aspirations for being a pro skier. These academies seem to be a fast track to meeting the right people and getting places. Same goes for daddy buying acceptance to any ivy league school. It's a club and none of us are part of it.
