NORTH CONWAY, New Hampshire ??\u0432\u0402\u045c Cranmore Mountain has recently announced that Cezar Ostrowski will head it’s newly formed freestyle team for the 05\/06 season. Skiers and riders, based at Cranmore, will have the opportunity to train with first class snowboard and free-ski coaches to develop focused competitive talents beginning December 3. <\/p>\n
Ostrowski, a 14 year ski and snowboard veteran, USASA level 2 Coach, and six-year snowboard instructor will head the program with Amber Marsh, Matt Burquette and John Garcia rounding the crew of coaches. Snowboarders and free-skiers will train with knowledgeable and focused coaches to develop skills necessary for local and regional competition.<\/p>\n
Working with Loon Mountain head freestyle coach Luke Shelley, Cranmore has set plans for a competitive competition program consisting of 50% skiers and 50% snowboarders aged 8 – 15. “Luke has been a great resource in establishing the Cranmore team,” says ski and snowboard programs director Cesar Ostrowski. “He has worked with designing the very successful Northstar-at-Tahoe and Loon Mountain programs and is very familiar with what details are required for success.”<\/p>\n
“With the growth of Cranmore’s park and the awesome job that all the Darkside park crew has done, the Freeride Team seems like it should be a blast,” says 14 year old Cranmore team member, Brian Sullivan. “With USASA and other local events, we should get a lot of chances to compete and visit other mountains over the winter. I am very lucky this new program is getting started…thanks to all the people at Cranmore!”<\/p>\n
Sullivan recently won Loon Mountains Open Season Rail Jam on Dec. 3, and placed in the top ten for Thanksjibbing and Waterville Valley’s Premature Jibulation.<\/p>\n
