This program welcomes all intermediate to advanced skiers. For those who are just beginning, the program teaches students the primary skills it takes to go off jumps and grind rails. For the more experienced free-stylist, the focus becomes on being more technically sound in the air, learning new and more difficult tricks, and having more style in the air and on the rails. Skills like skiing switch will become second nature to the students, so twin-tip skis are highly recommended, although not required. Video analysis of skiers and end-of-year highlight DVD included.*
