The LTADM sets out the process of an athlete’s participation in sport from the earliest acquisition of basic skills through participation in the Olympic Winter Games and beyond – “from playground to podium”. It is based on the participant’s developmental (both physiological and mental) age, rather than chronological age.

Canada~Snowboard has adapted the conceptual LTADM to the development of athletes in our sport. Canada~Snowboard's LTADM has the following stages:

• Active Start
• FUNdamentals
• Learn to Ride
• Training to Train
• Training to Compete
• Learn to Win
• Training to Win
• Riding for Life

Our Goal is to have a fully integrated system in place for snowboarders to reach the podium or make lots of money as a PRO, with no more system gaps!

Our first step is to build and implement a snowboard Long Term Athlete Development model.
