RIDGE Sports

RIDGE is founded on the principle that serious athletes do not only exist on the traditional athletic field, but also on the mountain and in action sports. They live for adventure and exploring new terrain. These athletes are now in the mainstream and the RIDGE gap year experience is a vehicle for training and experiencing where action meets the backcountry. Student athletes at RIDGE may be taking time out from school to train in mountain sports and prepare for the next big steps in their lives.
