What is IAM?
Based in Summit County, Colorado, International Academy of the Mountains (IAM) is an affordable academy that helps young snowboard and ski athletes achieve their goals by providing lodging, food,transportation, tutoring,mentoring and off-hill supervision for youth ages 13-19. This gives the athletes the opportunity to train full time at some of the best resorts in the country, including: Copper, Breckenridge, and Keystone. Participation in a snowboard/ski team is strongly recommended; this program is designed to go hand in hand with training schedules set by local snowboard/ski teams. If you are a serious athlete ready to take your skills to the next level, this program is designed for you!
Where Will I Stay?
IAM is located in Summit County, Colorado, centrally located in be-tween Keystone, Breckenridge and Copper (host of USASA Nationals, US Snowboard Grand Prix, and first pipe in North America to open). Quite frankly, it’s the best place to be for progression and getting endless opportunities to compete in huge events that were named above.
The IAM House is a brand-new 4250 square foot home complete with a tuning area, pool table,hot tub and views of lake Dillon! Rooms are dormitory style with one bunk bed and one queen bed which means three people to a room. The rooms are spacious so it doesn't feel like camp, it feels like home!
