This summer, Holderness School cemented its status as one of the top snow sports schools in the country with a renewal of its “Gold Certified” club status - and its invitation to join U.S. Ski & Snowboard's High Performance Center Partnership Program.
Freeride
Overview
The Freeride program is a rapidly-growing discipline that lives under the school’s Freeski umbrella. Athletes compete on some of the East Coast’s most difficult natural terrain at places like Jay Peak, Stowe, Magic Mountain, and Mad River Glen. At each venue, competitors ski or ride on a designated expert trail, scoring points based on how many natural features they hit. Athletes are also judged according to several additional criteria, including control, technique, fluidity, and the overall style and energy. For Freeride athletes, competition is all about creativity and split-second problem solving in difficult terrain – not racing against the clock on a manicured course. Athletes split their time training between Loon Mountain Resort and Cannon Mountain.

Brette Harrington ’10 came to Holderness School for the skiing, but it was the climbing she found during her time here that inspired a lifelong passion, valuable lessons, and a career. Now, Harrington is renowned in the climbing world for her first ascents (45 and counting), versatility, and free solo climbs.
Congratulations to all of the exceptional student-athletes who made this spring sports season such a success! Their hard work and dedication were always on display, from the lacrosse field to the baseball diamond to the local rock climbing crags.
