ABOUT THE IFSA ROOTED IN PROGRESSION The International Freeskiers & Snowboarders Association (IFSA) was founded in 1996 by Shane McConkey, a pioneer in freeskiing. Shane believed that freeride athletes would be best served by an athlete-owned organization. 27 years later, we continue to work and play by Shane’s guiding vision – the freerider is our bottom line. Today, the IFSA is a nonprofit 501(c)(3), focusing on driving exceptional quality and integrity across our sport, as we sanction junior and adult big mountain competitions in North and South America.
