The Academy provides students in 5th thru 12th grades with a flexible schedule that allows them to participate in skiing and snowboarding training programs at Vail Ski Resort. And she participates in dryland training 3-4 days a week.
In the words of Kenna, here is what the NBS Scholarship means to her:
NBS OSF can provide so many opportunities for my ski training on and off the slopes! All the support given from NBS can support me and my traveling to all my ski competitions, whether it’s from Copper Mountain Colorado, to Mammoth California and Saas Fe Switzerland. Being able to have the support for my competitions not only opens a door for improvement but gives me more opportunities to start dominating these competitions to go on to even bigger events. Outside of the competition season, the support from NBS can also support my training necessities. The amount of work you put into your training is the outcome you will receive and NBS helps with this. Being able to train everyday improves my tricks to apply them in competitions.

- Utah Olympic Park Ramps 4 Days
