The 2025 symposium was based on the implementation of new and innovative methods to inform current practices in your unique daily training environment, whether in snowsports or not!  

Goals of the U.S. Ski & Snowboard High Performance Symposium:

• Help educate ski and snowboard, and greater Utah/Western US, high performance practitioners on best practices currently being utilized in high performance sport,
• Provide a forum to discuss how high performance practitioners are currently using and/or how to implement new and innovative methods, and
• Foster a network of academic and applied practitioners to continue the conversation around how to implement current best practices in their unique environments
