Mammoth's culture and environment has produced many of the top U.S. snowboarders, and some of them will be competing for gold at the Beijing Olympics.
“I owe my whole career to the Mammoth team,” said Maud, who will make her Olympic debut. “I learned everything I know from them.”
“His ability to connect with an athlete is unlike anyone else,” Maud said of Wisner, who coaches Mammoth’s elite halfpipe athletes and helps with the Team USA rookie halfpipe team in addition to his role as the Mammoth team’s director. “I’ve worked with so many coaches over the years and he just has such a good way of helping us and supporting us and putting his heart and soul into his athletes.”
It was the best combination of traveling the world as a competitor and sharing the sport he loved. His professional career took him to the best mountains in Europe and North America. None compared to Mammoth.Mammoth is one of the most popular snow resorts When he took over as Mammoth’s head coach, Wisner elevated the program to U.S. Ski and Snowboard club of the year in 2019. He did it by recruiting families to stay after he took the job, finding coaches from the United States and his native Australia and working 60 to 80 hours a week rewriting the training plan with a simple strategy in mind.
The 192-foot long, 76-foot wide “progression bag” is an inflatable slide that allows athletes to try more daring tricks with an added layer of safety. No one had put one on top of snow before Mammoth unveiled it a year before the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics.
