Smart Style Program
See the Video
1.) MAKE A PLAN
Every time you use freestyle terrain, make a plan for each feature you want
to use.
Your speed, approach and take off will directly affect your maneuver and
landing.
2.) LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP
Before getting into freestyle terrain observe all signage and warnings
Scope around the jumps first not over them
Use your first run as a warm up run and to familiarize yourself with the
terrain
Be aware that the features change constantly due to weather, usage, grooming
and time of day
Do not jump blindly and use a spotter when necessary
3.) EASY STYLE IT
Know your limits and ski/ride within your ability level
Look for small progression parks or features to begin with and work your way
up
Freestyle skills require maintaining control on the ground and in the air
Do not attempt any features unless you have sufficient ability and
experience to do so safely
Inverted aerials are prohibited.
4.) RESPECT GETS RESPECT
Respect the terrain and others
One person on a feature at a time
Wait your turn and call your start
Always clear the landing area quickly
Respect all signs and stay off closed terrain and features
Be sure you Know the Code : Your Responsibility
