LEARN TECHNIQUE
NOT FEAR

FORMATS & PRICING

Sessions in a pack need not be consecutive — spread them across your stay or the whole season. Lift passes and equipment not included.

Who it's for

For riders who descend confidently and want to start using the park
— or to stop plateauing in it.

FIRST TIME IN THE PARK

Small features, proper approach, and the technique that makes everything after it possible. The park is far less intimidating with someone reading it for you.

RIDERS STUCK AT A LEVEL

You land the same tricks and can't move past them. A coach sees what you can't feel — where the rotation starts, where the weight goes, why the landing is always slightly wrong.

RIDERS COMING BACK TO IT

A few seasons away, and the commitment goes first. Rebuilding it methodically is far quicker than forcing it.

RIDERS STAYING THE SEASON

The pack of five spreads across the winter. Progression that compounds week after week rather than in a single burst.

HOW A SESSION WORKS

We start where you are

Your coach watches you ride first — on the piste and on the smallest features — before anything else is decided.

One thing at a time

Approach, take-off, air, landing. Each element worked separately until it holds, then assembled.

Repetition with feedback

The same feature, run after run, with a correction each time. That’s what builds a trick you can actually repeat.

You leave with something to work on

Every session ends with what improved and what to focus on next — whether you come back tomorrow or next season.

INCLUDED/NOT INCLUDED

In the park

A helmet is compulsory for every session. A back protector is strongly recommended and available for hire through our partner. Your coach decides which features to attempt and in what order. Progression in the park is built on landing what you've already committed to — not on ambition.

No. Most sessions with new park riders start on boxes and the smallest kickers, working on approach and stance long before anything gets big.

Freestyle coaching is snowboard-focused. Skiers wanting park work should get in touch and we’ll advise on what we can arrange.

No. Spread them across your stay or the whole season, subject to availability.

A helmet is compulsory. A back protector is strongly recommended for park riding — both can be arranged through our partner.

Get in touch and tell us the levels. Park coaching works best one-to-one, but two riders of similar ability can sometimes share effectively.
