"The Shred Squad is where confidence meets adventure," mountain officials said.

Officials said the squad is designed for riders who want to build confidence and develop freestyle skills. The program focuses on safely learning terrain park features, improving technique and progressing one step at a time while riding with others in the same age group.

The program is intended for a range of experience levels within that setting. Some might even be "hitting their first box" or building on skills they already have.

Mount Southington also said its certified instructors will lead the sessions. In the announcement, the ski area said, "our certified instructors make every session fun, encouraging, and confidence-building."
