The Mt. Mansfield Ski and Snowboard Club (MMSC) Snowboard program is dedicated to helping young snowboarders develop the skills and athleticism needed to become the best possible rider they can be.

Our competitively based program begins with overall riding skills and provides an introduction to snowboard competition. MMSC offers training and competition in slopestyle, halfpipe, as well as all mountain riding. MMSC focuses on advancing our riders through a clear chain of progression from basic riding skills through the top ranks of USASA and USSA national competition levels. An underlying goal is to share the love of snowboarding, while providing a high-level snowboard development program.
