WOW... You guys dont have High school Snowboard Teams??? Man, That sucks. Well My name is Robby Burns I am a high school racer from Mount Shasta California and attend Mount Shasta High School. In 1995 our High school started an Alpine snowboad team And it has been great ever since. Here is how it works. We have six divisions located all through California. We are located in Northern California so we are part of the Northern Division 1 along with many other schools. Then there are five other divisions located farther south from us. We have a six week season and we Race every Friday during that season. Then the top riders from each division are invited to the CNISSF (California-Nevada Interscholastic Ski-Snowboard Federation) State Championships. Also we have a local College that puts on a college class (Teachers,Credits and all ) where we have a two week Gate training session for Christmas Break. Also The College does a six week Gate Training program on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays so Our local teams can run gates and practice during the season. In small towns like ours, Alpine Racing is kinda worshiped by most. Here it is in the same category if not higher then Football, Basketball, and Baseball. It is a great system. Well I hope that information helps and also here is our State Website http://www.cnissf.org This website is mainy for our coaches to converse with eachother but I think it will help. On top of that, I have many forms and documents that I would be willing to send if you are truly interested. If you have any other questions I would be happy to answer them and tell you more about our system.
