Woodward Park City With The Score Still Moving



The Woodward Park City course moved fast in March, rails feeding into compact takeoffs under Utah light. Dylan Prado had to keep the first section clean, carry speed into the jump line, and land enough of the run for the judges to place him inside a crowded men’s freeski field.

On March 12, 2025, Prado finished 11th in a FIS freeski slopestyle event at Woodward Park City, scoring 13.60 points. The result did not make him a headline name, but it gave his public record a clear anchor: a young American park skier moving through the development system, with Stratton Mountain School on the FIS profile and a competition trail that now reaches beyond local series pages.



New Jersey Before The Stratton Bib



Mt Hood Summer Ski and Snowboard Camps lists Prado as a freeskier from New Jersey. That origin gives his profile a different shape from skiers raised at large western resorts. New Jersey does not hand a rider endless alpine park laps. Progression often depends on travel, small-hill repetition, camps, school programs and the ability to make limited terrain useful.

FIS lists him with Stratton Mountain School and Ski Foundation, placing his development inside one of the East Coast’s best-known winter-sport school environments. Stratton adds structure: coaching, travel, academic balance, rail sessions, jump progression and the competition rhythm needed to move from regional series into FIS and national-level events.



Southern Vermont Into Futures Tour



USASA’s public athlete listing connects Prado to Freeski Men and the Southern Vermont Series. That context matters because Southern Vermont is often where East Coast riders learn the discipline of entering events, handling judging, skiing under start orders and turning park laps into scored runs.

LiveHeats also places Prado in a Woodward Park City Futures Tour men’s freeski field for 2025, where he was listed with Stratton Mountain. Futures Tour events sit between local development and the higher-pressure national path. They are not World Cups, but they tell a skier where the gaps are: rail precision, jump amplitude, switch takeoffs, grab control, landing strength and full-run consistency.



Mount Snow In The February File



FIS lists Mount Snow Resort on February 12, 2025 as part of Prado’s public result file. He finished 17th in a FIS freeski slopestyle event with 9.60 FIS points. Mount Snow gives the page another East Coast marker, important because it keeps the story grounded close to the Vermont system rather than jumping straight to Utah or Colorado.

A Mount Snow slopestyle start asks for the basics to hold together. The rails need clean entries and exits. The jumps require enough speed without overcooking the landings. A developing skier has to show a complete run before difficulty can become the main conversation. Prado’s result belongs in that learning phase.



Mammoth And The Hard Side Of The Sheet



The same FIS profile lists a March 3, 2025 slopestyle start at Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort, where Prado finished 65th with 0.10 FIS points. That number should not be hidden, because it shows the reality of development-level freeskiing. A young rider can have a useful result one week and a rough result the next.

Mammoth changes the scale of the problem. Bigger park terrain, stronger fields, spring speed changes and a deeper West Coast scene can expose every weakness in a run. For Prado, the Mammoth result sits beside Woodward rather than erasing it. Together they show an athlete still building reliability across different venues.



Copper Rail Before The National Slopestyle



April 2025 gave Prado two more FIS-listed starts at Copper Mountain. On April 5, he finished 13th in the National Championships freeski rail event with 9.90 FIS points. Two days later, he finished 49th in the National Championships slopestyle event with 0.90 points.

The rail result is the cleaner technical marker. Rail events isolate balance, timing, edge control, switch exits, presses and quick trick selection more than a full slopestyle course does. For a young East Coast skier, placing better in rail than slopestyle suggests that compact feature control may currently be a stronger part of the toolkit than full-course jump consistency.



How Prado Should Be Watched



Prado should be watched as a developing park skier, not as a finished international athlete. The useful details are rail entries, takeoff timing, speed management, grab discipline, switch control and whether he can link features without losing rhythm. A slopestyle run is not one trick. It is a chain of decisions.

His public results point toward a rider still working through that chain. Woodward shows he can land inside a useful FIS placement. Copper rail shows a clearer feature-specific result. Mammoth and Copper slopestyle show the harder side of the process. That mix is normal for skiers moving out of school and regional systems into larger fields.



Mt. Hood Staff And Summer Repetition



Mt Hood Summer Ski and Snowboard Camps lists Prado among its staff and says he started working at camp in 2023. That detail adds a different layer from competition sheets. Mt. Hood summer culture gives skiers repeated rail laps, soft landings, trampoline time, dryland activity, coaching exposure and a constant flow of riders from different regions.

Even if the staff listing is light on ski results, it helps explain how Prado stays connected to the broader freeski environment. A young skier who works around camp sees shaping, coaching, video review, warm-weather snow and the daily habits of riders trying to improve. Those repetitions matter when winter results are still uneven.



University Of Utah As The Next Base



Stratton Mountain School’s 2025 publication lists Dylan Prado with University of Utah and also names him for a Freeski Improvement Award. That gives the page its current transition point. Utah is a logical next base for a park skier: Woodward Park City, Park City, Brighton, Snowbird access, Wasatch storms and a dense freestyle community.

The strongest skipowd.tv tags for Prado are New Jersey, Stratton Mountain School, Southern Vermont Series, Mount Snow, Woodward Park City, Mammoth Mountain, Copper Mountain, Mt. Hood, University of Utah, slopestyle, rail and park skiing. The current endpoint is the 2025 FIS file, with future updates best focused on new Utah clips, FIS results, rail contests and any verified sponsor or film project that clarifies his direction.
