JUdges
THE BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE
Welcome to the most dynamic, pragmatic and fun judging system on the planet. Through our detailed methodology, in-depth credentialing systems, and care for the spirit of our sport, IFSA judges are committed to evolving our program through constant conversation on and off the snow, 365 days a year.
COACHES
FACILITATORS OF THE RAD
Junior athletes are the foundation of the IFSA, and every one of them partners with a credentialed coach, whether that be through an established freeride club, or independently. We believe that strong coaches are essential for the safety, success, and progression of the sport.
TECHNICAL DIRECTORS
