Ben, Jake, Andrew and Chris all took this weekend course to build on the freestyle skills that Chuck and Ryan have been teaching them in lessons and to be able to instruct freestyle skills in a safe and progressive manner. This is a really useful course for any snowboarder to have, with the huge growth and increase in popularity of terrain parks in modern resorts. Ryan Murray evaluated the course and led the group through a variety of manoeuvres and safety concerns specific to park riding and etiquette.
The course is divided into skills including straight airs, airs with rotation and riding rails and boxes using the SICK concept and the snowboard skills learnt on the level one course.
The Seasonnaires were all celebrating successfully passing the course with a BBQ at Alpenrose on the Sunday evening and getting ready to take their newly learned freestyle skills to the big mountain terrain that Kicking Horse offers.
