Our Student Athlete<br />
Our student athletes are seeking a time off from traditional school for a unique and<br />
formative athletic and educational experience in the mountains. RIDGE student athletes<br />
are accepted from around the world, range in ages 16-20, and have various skill levels in<br />
mountain sports. Our young men and women are empowered to reach their individual<br />
goals by balancing mountain sports training, academics, and personal<br />
responsibilities in a small community.
“Having the semester to focus<br />
on my personal goals and to<br />
dedicate my time to training was<br />
really beneficial. It is easy to get<br />
distracted or lose steam with<br />
goals, but the coaching at RIDGE<br />
helped me remain committed to<br />
my training as a mountain athlete.”<br />
