My Son is 10 now. He loves hard booting, and GS is his thing. I was blessed last year to have a friend help me with him, and teach him.
We are out of NH and the white mountains are our playground. Last year he took first in his class for EICSL and 16'th in the USASA at Copper. (Fantastic people at the Donek tent, especially Jim) I am now trying to figure the best place to put him for this upcoming season. I am not looking for any favors here with this post, but more just trying to compile all of his options so I can make the best decision.
Waterville has a well known program. They seem to do well in the races and they seem to have good coaches. Their program, however, requires volunteer work, which would prevent me from also racing this year, as my wife and I both work. Loon seems to have a program, but I haven't heard much about it, and it is extremely expensive.
Are their other snowboard teams in near the White Mountains in NH?
Are their coaches / trainers who freelance and who's specialty is hard booting and GS?
I appreciate any advise and I thank all who reply in advance.
