Freeski/ride Devo Home

The Freeski Development (Devo) Team is for skiers ages 8–13. This group builds on fundamental skiing skills while emphasizing safety awareness, team camaraderie, and sportsmanship. Athletes will explore the entire mountain in a fun, supportive environment—skiing steeps, bumps, groomers, powder, crud, trees, race courses, and introductory park features such as rails/boxes and jumps.

If your child is at least 10 years old and interested in divisional competitions, please refer to the Progression Team under the Big Mountain program tab.

Bogus Basin season passes are not included and must be purchased from Bogus Basin.

Participants must be able to ski at an intermediate level and should be comfortable skiing down the entire Deer Point area and Lower Nugget, Wild Cat, and Paradise runs on the Pine Creek Chair and Nighthawk, Triumph, and War Eagle on the Superior Chair.

ATHLETE SAFETY

U.S. Ski and Snowboard and the U.S. Center for SafeSport provide many free resources for parents who want to educate themselves and their children on Athlete Safety.

As an example, parents are encouraged to complete the Parent’s Guide to Misconduct in Sports. We also encourage parents to take an age-appropriate SafeSport course from the menu below with their children.
