Tahoe Junior Freeride Series (TjfS)/Tahoe Freeride schedules, organizes and executes events, maintains regional rankings, and advocates for Freeride athletes in the Far West Region of IFSA.  TjfS was founded in 2010 by coaches and Freeride parents with the goal of providing consistency across all Far West Region events. The regional athlete membership dues are critical to fund event production, event insurance, communication and staffing which has become a year-round effort.  TjfS/Tahoe Freeride membership dues serve as a critical element of funding the organization and are non-refundable.
