The Park City Snowboard Academy is excited to announce the commitment of young snowboarding stars Hans and Nils Mindnich to the academy for next season.

Both Hans and Nils are rising snowboard talents out of Stowe, Vermont located in the heart of the Green Mountains. Both have decided to attend the Park City Snowboard Academy in Utah in an effort to help push their careers to the next level. “I am really excited to be moving out to Park City and having the chance to sharpen my shred skills at PCSA” says Nils. “The pipe and park at Park City are sick and PCSA will really help me continue to learn new tricks” says Hans. 

“I’ve kept an eye on Hans and Nils’ progress for 3-4 years now and I am really excited they have decided to come to PCSA. Riding out of Stowe, which is one of the best mountains in Vermont, they have become quite the young superstars. Hans and Nils are part of the newest generation of great snowboarders to come out of Vermont.” says Andy Coghlan Snowboard Director at PCSA. 

At a young age, the Mindnich brothers have already put together very impressive resumes in snowboarding. They have appeared in Warren Miller’s film “Playground”, have won several National Championships in the USASA, placed on the podium at both the US and European Open Junior Jams and have had exclusive editorial coverage in both Transworld and Snowboarder magazines. They both were recently interviewed on Fuel TV’s popular amateur action sports show called “New Pollution”. Nils is currently a part of the Burton “Smalls” Team and has been featured in Burton’s global advertising campaign. Hans is a part of Burton’s North American National Team and will begin his second year on the US National Team. Both brothers will be heading down to New Zealand this summer to take part in a Red Bull training camp and photo shoot before heading to Park City to start school at PCSA in September. Other sponsors and supporters include Red Bull, Anon, Octagon, Mom & Dad, their younger sister Wynter and loyal dog Maggie.

PCSA is proud to be a non-profit, snowboard-specific academy. It is a school created by snowboarders for snowboarders. PCSA will provide full term programs for grades 9-12 and a winter term option for grades 6-12. For more information about PCSA visit www.pcsacademy.org.
