The Performance Pathway

The primary aim of the Performance Pathway is to help riders progress towards GB Snowsports B Team selection. All riders selected to the Performance Team:

- Are expected to train alongside their local club / Pro Camp coach

- Are invited to additional training opportunities in the UK and abroad in World-Class Park & Pipe facilities.

- Are given additional support with off-snow training and goal setting

Snowsport Scotland employs two park and pipe coaches to support the pathway and run our Pro-Camps and national performance programmes. They support park and pipe athletes to progress through the pathway and into the GB Snowsports teams. This is done in partnership with the Clubs, Academies and GB Snowsports.

Euan Baxter (Pathway Coach) works with local clubs and scenes supporting coaches, trainees,  facilities and parks to ensure young riders across the country have the best opportunity to ride in the best environments!

Euan also leads on the Pro-Camps, Park & Pipe training environments for Scottish club trainees and coaches. The camps aim to offer bespoke learning environments to provide coaches and trainees opportunities beyond their regular landscape to progress and develop their practice. By supporting clubs from across Scotland to train together the camps build community and collaboration to support progression and lift the scene.  Supporting the Park & Pipe pathway is a primary aim and as such the camps are accessible to all clubs with Park & Pipe program.

Murray Buchan (Performance Coach) has a dual role with Snowsport Scotland and GB Snowsports and works with both the GB Park & Pipe Main Team athletes and the Snowsport Scotland Performance Squad in the UK and abroad.  The pathway promotes as much snowboarding and freeskiing as possible, alongside cross training disciplines such as gymnastics, skateboarding, and strength and conditioning work.

GB Snowsport select, manage and lead British teams to international events and provide opportunities for our athletes to achieve their full potential as individuals and as a team.
