Why should I join the GBX “snowboard Cross” or “Learn to snowboard” program?

Ski & Snowboard Cross Programs
Ski and Snowboard Cross are arguably the most exciting, fun, exhilarating and enjoyable of the Olympic winter sports disciplines. As relatively new Olympic sports, opportunities are huge for potential athletes wishing to represent their country at the Olympic Games and with a much reduced price tag compared to other similar disciplines, GBX is a hugely attractive Olympic option.

Do you want to set a qualifying time AND race head to head against other athletes? Are you motivated, self determined and able to treat setbacks as challenges? Do you want to be coached in freestyle & snowboard cross. If so, then Ski or Snowboard Cross is a brilliant option. Are you new to the sport or have previous experience in Freestyle or Alpine? If so, come and give it a go.

Learn to Snowboard Program
If you have ever wandered what it would be like to be an excellent snowboarder or you have snowboarded for a few weeks here and there and want to be like the other few snowboarders you see who do lots of jumps, rails, half pipe, and race down the mountain at high speed but very much in control then our learn to snowboard program offers just that. World class snowboard coaching is offered to new snowboarders over a 6 month period.

Who we are looking for and how to join GBX

We are looking for skiers and snowboarders from any nation who enjoy being on snow. Athletes who are physically robust and willing to learn to ski or snowboard as well as display performance behaviours of a world class athlete in other aspects of training and lifestyle.
