Gunstock Freestyle Association is a non-profit seasonal coaching program for freeskiers and snowboarders ages 8-17 based at Gunstock Mountain Resort in Gilford, NH.

We train in small groups while also working individually with each rider establishing a detailed plan to help each athlete achieve their specific goals. Through professional analysis and proper coaching, combined with a positive learning environment, we leave each rider satisfied with their progress, while ensuring they had a great time in the process. Last season we had 7 coaches on staff with almost 40 members from NH, MA, and ME. with 11 GFA athletes qualify for USASA National Championships held at Copper Mt, CO.
