At Gould, freestyle skiing takes many forms — moguls, freeride, and freeski—but they all start with fearless curiosity and full-throttle creativity. We build pathways for student-athletes to train year-round, pushing the limits of their disciplines while discovering their potential.

Gould Academy Freestyle Mogul skier prepares for competitive run at Sunday River in Maine

 

Moguls

Our Freestyle Moguls athletes train to master the rhythm, timing, and control that define elite mogul skiing. As U.S. Ski & Snowboard members, these student-athletes compete in regional, national, and international competitions, building both confidence and resilience with every turn. With access to a dedicated mogul course and a full-season training program at Sunday River, we set skiers up for success—on the hill and beyond it.

Freeski

Gould Freeskiers take on rails, jumps, and creativity-fueled courses across USASA, Futures Tour, and Revolution Tour circuits — as well as local rail jams events. Our coaching philosophy centers on progression and style, balancing technical development with freedom of expression. With terrain parks just minutes away and an airbag on campus, our athletes land their best tricks with purpose.

Freeride

For athletes who see the mountain as a playground, Gould’s Freeride program offers the ultimate blend of fun and fearlessness. Whether you’re threading through the glades, having some fun in the park, getting after powder days, or putting all the pieces together for an IFSA Freeride Tour event, our freeriders learn how to harness the rush of freestyle skiing into high-level performance.

LIFE BEYOND THE MOUNTAIN

Athletes Today, Leaders Tomorrow.

Freestyle skiing at Gould is about more than medals — It’s about building confidence, independence, and a mindset that thrives under pressure. Gould athletes graduate not just as competitors, but as well-rounded students ready for the next stage.

Freestyle Program Director

“Freestyle is about creativity, not conformity. Our athletes learn to read the mountain, take smart risks, and show up for each other—because that’s how we grow, on snow and off.”
