Practice Schedule & RSVP
The BENT OXEN Shred Team is a low-key group of snowboarders and skiers that plan to ride together on a regular basis. We have a couple volunteer coaches who have committed to being there for the kids when possible. Our goal is to ride two to three times each week for practice. For those of us who are USASA competitors, we’ll be training for the events we plan to compete in. For those of us who are just learning, we’ll help with the basics. Everyone is welcome as long as you agree to be kind to each other, try hard, and to have fun.
Please let us know when your riders plan on being at practice.
Our volunteer coaches would love to know if your rider will be at the event. Please RSVP in the Team Snap App (with yes or no)!

On Tuesday and Thursday nights the team will practice riding park with Coach John and Pete on the small and big park at Hyland Hills Ski Area.
