Connor Garber

Stratton Mountain School, United States | Active: 2017-present public record | Known for: Slopestyle, East Coast park skiing, USASA Nationals podium, AKamp footage | Current: Active FIS athlete

Carinthia Rails Before The Results Sheet

January rails at Carinthia Parks scrape loud when the Vermont surface hardens overnight. The Newschoolers archive places a 10-year-old Connor Garber in “C Sessions 7.2,” skiing with Tyler Duncan, Calvin Lyons, Sam Marino, Ian Bryce and Kevin Ramsey. That early clip gives his profile a useful starting point before the official results arrive. Garber’s public story begins in the East Coast park world: short lift laps, firm takeoffs, compact rails, quick resets and a local video culture where young skiers learn feature timing long before they are ranked on a national sheet.

Stratton School Structure And Southern Vermont Repetition

FIS lists Garber as a United States freestyle skier attached to Stratton Mountain School and Ski Foundation, born on March 4, 2006, with FIS code 2537428. That connection gives his development a clear training frame. Stratton Mountain Resort sits inside one of the strongest East Coast park-and-pipe pathways, where school training, travel blocks, USASA events, Futures Tour starts and national contests all overlap. Garber’s record reads like a skier shaped by that rhythm: winter terms, Southern Vermont park laps, competition trips and a steady climb from local footage toward FIS-level slopestyle starts.

Mount Snow Gave The Style A Base

The early Carinthia footage connects Garber naturally to Mount Snow, where freestyle terrain has long been treated as a core identity rather than a side feature. Carinthia’s value for a developing skier is repetition. Rails, boxes, jumps, progression lines and event-style builds sit close enough together to let a rider test, miss, hike, reset and try again without losing the session. That environment fits Garber’s later profile. His verified skiing is centered on slopestyle and rail-adjacent park work, not halfpipe, moguls or freeride. The foundation is speed control, edge pressure, feature linking and comfort on man-made terrain.

Copper Mountain Put A Podium On The School Record

Stratton Mountain School lists “Connor Garber ’24” with a third place at the 2023 USASA Nationals slopestyle event at Copper Mountain. That is the strongest junior result publicly attached to his name outside the FIS database. Copper matters because it tests a different version of park skiing than Vermont. The altitude is higher, the courses are longer, and the fields are deeper. A USASA Nationals podium there shows that Garber’s skiing had already traveled beyond local recognition before his later Nor-Am and National Championships results appeared on his official FIS record.

The 2026 FIS Season Gave The Results A Frame

Garber’s official FIS profile lists him as active and shows a 2026 slopestyle run through Copper Mountain, Aspen / Buttermilk and Mammoth Mountain. On January 14, 2026, he placed 27th at the Nor-Am Cup slopestyle stop at Copper. On March 14, 2026, he placed 19th at the Nor-Am Cup slopestyle event at Mammoth Mountain. On March 27, 2026, he placed 49th at the Nor-Am Cup Premium slopestyle event at Aspen / Buttermilk. On April 8, 2026, he placed 17th at the National Championships slopestyle event at Copper. Those are development results rather than podiums, but they show a real competition schedule against strong North American fields.

The Garber-Dee Name In Amateur Records

Some amateur and USASA-linked records display the name Connor Garber-Dee, while FIS uses Connor Garber. The safest editorial treatment is to use Connor Garber, matching the official FIS profile and the requested name, while understanding that the longer form can appear in competition indexes. That distinction matters for database consistency. It keeps the athlete page aligned with the official international record, while still explaining why readers may see a slightly different name in USASA or Snowdyssey-style result listings.

AKamp Added A Summer Crew Layer

Garber’s public record is not only competition-based. Newschoolers lists him in “kampluv,” a Vulgus video at AKamp published in August 2025, featuring Tommy Dejager, Durham Jones, Connor Garber, Jérémy Gagné and Math Duf, with additional filming credited to Seran and Remi. A separate Newschoolers photo page, “Connor Garber - AKamp 2025,” credits Xavier Mayrand, identifies Garber as the skier, and places the shot at AKamp in Avila with rails, North America and East Coast tags. That gives the profile a summer-session layer: compact rail features, small-crew filming and technical repetition outside the formal winter contest schedule.

Slopestyle First, Rails Close Behind

The verified technical picture is narrow but readable. FIS records Garber in freeski slopestyle and one Aspen / Buttermilk rail-event entry marked DNS, while his Newschoolers appearances lean toward rails and park footage. That does not provide a full trick list, so the profile should not invent one. The safe technical frame is all-around park skiing: rail balance, takeoff timing, switch approach comfort, line construction, grab discipline and enough edge control to manage East Coast surfaces. His profile sits closer to slopestyle and rail sessions than big air specialization or pipe skiing.

The Current Record Is Still Emerging

Garber’s public profile is stronger than a simple edit-only rider, but it is not yet a senior professional résumé. The confirmed record includes early Carinthia footage, Stratton Mountain School affiliation, a 2023 USASA Nationals slopestyle podium at Copper Mountain, active FIS status, 2026 Nor-Am and National Championships starts, and AKamp crew footage from 2025. That is enough for an emerging skier page. The next measurable step is whether those competition starts turn into higher Nor-Am finishes, more rail-event results and a larger video archive beyond the East Coast and AKamp lane.
