In spite of an unseasonably warm winter that presented training challenges for all Snow Sports athletes, Holderness School is sending an unprecedented number of skiers and snowboarders – 26 in total – to national competitions this spring.
Snowboarding Eastern
Overview
The Eastern team is for those with a desire to improve their skills and reach the next level. All team members compete at multiple levels, ranging from regional USASA competitions to national and international FIS races.
For many, the season really never ends, but officially the Eastern team starts training in early November and continues to compete through the middle of April. Our home mountain is Loon Mountain, but we have the option to follow the snow. The average Eastern athlete has between 90 and 120 days on snow, not including summer training.
In addition to participating in weekly strength and agility workouts designed by our strength and conditioning coach, snow sports athletes can also work on technique with Nick Preston of Freestyle America or one of the other certified coaches on the school’s trampoline or new on-campus air bag jump. We are committed to providing our snow sports athletes with the equipment, the programs, and the coaching staff they need to train hard and reach the next level.

Athletics News
This month, Henniyah Rivers ’25 added to that reputation by competing in slalom and giant slalom for Jamaica at the World Junior Olympics in Gangwon, South Korea. In doing so, she became the first-ever female alpine skier to compete for Jamaica in an international competition.
Apart from the 4,139-foot vertical drop, 2,500-acres of in-bounds terrain, and dizzyingly high elevation, the Holderness School Freeride team felt right at home when they visited Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in early January.
With the stands packed full of students, teachers, and parents all sporting t-shirts emblazoned with the words ‘Sarah Strong’ and the players donning orange ribbons on their uniforms, it was an exciting weekend of hockey on the Holderness campus. Boys Varsity Hockey defeated Governor’s Academy 6-2 with Jacob netting a goal in the second period. Girls Varsity Hockey won an exciting back-and-forth game over Hoosac School 6-4. However, more important than the numbers on the scoreboard was the number of students who came together to raise money throughout the week. All together, 73 students helped to raise over $10,000 for the Sarah Duval Memorial Fund.
On January 19, the Holderness School community gathered to dedicate the Davis Cross Country Ski Trails, a network of snowmaking-equipped Nordic racing loops that have establish the school as one of the best places to train and race in New England.
Congratulations to all the exceptional student-athletes and their coaches who made this fall sports season so memorable! The hard work, dedication, and passion displayed on the fields, trails, and cliffs, has represented Holderness School well.
