Skiers must be able to ride a T-Bar independently.

Freestylerz

In this full day program, focus is on progression to more advanced, competitive and refined skills in moguls, slopestyle (terrain park) and halfpipe (when available). An emphasis on strong turning and takeoff basics provides the foundation to safely launch spins and inverted maneuvers off jumps in moguls and on our slopestyle course. Skiers may opt to enter club competitions, and work towards provincial/national-level competition at the discretion of the head coach. This program will be offered as a 1-day on-snow program (Saturday) or 2-day (Saturday and Sunday) on-snow program, with an option of fall dryland training at Evolution Freestyle (additional costs apply, see below). Fall dryland training will take place at Evolution Freestyle (1 km south of the Tawatinaw Ski Hill) and will include ramp and airbag use, trampoline use, conditioning and other activities. Please note that it is highly recommended that athletes who are looking to advance their skills and/or compete at club or provincial competitions attend the fall dryland training. As athlete safety is our number one priority, without this additional training and conditioning, coaches may be required to limit tricks and/or features that athletes can partake in.
