Support the Future of Freeride: IFSA Online Auction

“It’s just Freeride.” Ever heard someone say that? Ever wondered what it really means? This message comes from Bryan Salatino, the President of the IFSA, and it’s a reminder that Freeride is about more than just points or reaching the next level. It’s about the journey, the growth, and the community that make the sport so meaningful. As Bryan puts it, “Enjoy the entire beautiful and sometimes messy experience. Because it’s just freeride, and that’s more than enough.”

Founded in 1996 by freeskiing legend Shane McConkey, the International Freeskier & Snowboarder Association (IFSA) was built on the belief that the freerider is at the heart of the sport. Nearly 30 years later, we continue to carry forward Shane’s vision of an athlete-owned organization that empowers athletes and elevates the sport of Freeride.
