*by invitation from head coach

REGISTRATION CLOSES NOV 1, 2025

The CANfree program focuses on developing athletes for competition by providing advanced training in moguls, slopestyle and all mountain skiing. These athletes participate (or are working towards) competition at the Provincial level. CANFree coaches have significant freestyle coaching experience and have top certifications under Canada’s Freestyle Coaching Program (CFSA).

Athletes wishing to participate in CANfree must receive coach approval. If your athlete is interested in joining the CANfree team, please email the EFSC President at pres@edmontonfreestyle.com noting your athlete's name and the name of their coach from last season.

Moguls

CANfree athletes consistently navigate mogul terrain cleanly, while working to perform more advanced tricks off of the jumps. Athletes will complete some training on Provincial level courses.

Slopestyle

CANfree athletes will be challenged to master more advanced features and larger jumps, while increasing the technicality of the tricks performed.

All Mountain

CANfree athletes can ski all terrain on the mountain competently and confidently and will work to perform more advanced tricks using natural features.

Junior CANfree Development

The CANfree Junior Team will compete at the Club Competition Level. This program serves athletes who envision themselves potentially competing on the Provincial team someday. Kids in this program must already have demonstrated strong commitment to the sport, the right attitude, and the skills to be forceful on the competition stage. Advanced tricks and techniques are already in place at this level. This program mandates both mogul and slopestyle disciplines. Athletes in this program are expected to attend 3 - 4 training camps on the road, 3 - 4 club competitions, and dryland training in the fall.

Athletes on this team will work towards spinning in all 4 directions, sliding multiple rails sideways with a forwards and backwards exit, skiing a top-to-bottom mogul run with tricks in a clean and controlled manner and developing strong switch skiing skills. Athletes are also encouraged to begin training inverts (trampoline/airbag).

CANfree Junior cost and program schedule for the 2025/26 season is:

Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday

($2,350, includes Edmonton Ski Club Season Pass)

Senior CANfree Development

This is the highest level of training offered by EFSC. The CANfree Senior team competes only on the Provincial Level. Athletes in this program are the closest they can be to the Alberta Provincial Team and are invited to participate after demonstrating a high level of skill, commitment to the sport, and the right attitude. This program mandates both mogul and slopestyle disciplines. Athletes in this program are expected to attend 3-4 training camps on the road, 3 provincial level competitions, and dryland training in the summer and fall.

These athletes are refining their spins in all 4 directions and working on multiple rail tricks (270s on/off, swaps, etc.) Those training in moguls will consistently ski clean top-to-bottom runs in the mogul course while increasing the technique of their tricks. Senior Development athletes will also engage in invert training on snow.
