About us
Our History
The Senders Programs were previously known under the title of Simple Snowboarding and were formed in 2007 by Snowboarders who recognized the need to provide guidance and advice to the next generation of young Snowboarders. Skiing was added in 2022 and developed in to our program options.
For 15 years The Senders have been producing the best Freestyle riders in Ontario, with multiple Junior World champions, Youth Olympic Medalists, multiple World Cup medalists, National team members and professional riders coming through our programs, we have an unmatched record. We cater to all levels of young Freestyle riders, from those at an introductory freestyle level, all the way up to those at a highly advanced, World Class level, and are the only program in Ontario that provides this opportunity for advancement. Our programs are built for Skiers and Snowboarders who are obsessed with the Terrain park and want to set goals and push themselves, while being around like-minded riders and individuals.
Our Senders Youth programs are a proven progressional pathway to the National teams, or are a great choice if you're obsessed with the terrain park and want to up your skills in an environment with other riders with similar goals. Many of our former riders also end up maintaining strong friendships and often travel and live together after their time on the team. The time spent on the team in a familiar environment with mentorship, allows them to build strong friendships and helps to prepare them for independence.
Personal Development
We provide our team members with an incredibly in-depth skill education during their time with us, while also passing on key life skills learned through the challenges that Terrain Park, Halfpipe, and Free-riding present. Team members who are willing to learn, work hard, and push themselves will find an enormous amount of reward in one of our programs. Our goal is to equip our team members with more than just an in-depth knowledge of Skiing and Snowboarding, we also want our team members to have an in-depth knowledge of themselves and the success in every avenue of life that they are capable of pursuing. The experiences and life lessons some of our team members have learned through training, competing and traveling with us has helped them discover their self identity and has been a positive influence in their lives, which has helped them grow and mature while navigating all the challenges, risks and rewards they encounter through Freestyle participation.
