Progress what tricks you can safely do on the piste and in the park, while meeting other snowboarders and skiers with the same interests as you.

Freestyle (tricks, jumps, rails, park) learned correctly minimises risk, and avoids a lot of the worst falls early on if you get the right information and have someone to catch you on your first attempts. In this group we welcome everyone interested in freestyle, training jumps (straight airs, spins, etc.) up to rails and boxes in the park (5050s, boardslides).

For snowboarding, this is a faster paced 'more feedback' style of group, where we will repeat the fundamentals with strong safety measures until you're easily capable of doing the tricks alone. You'll practice in Laax's beginner park and have the option to train either jumps or boxes/rails. To make the most of it, please enjoy the group dynamic where we stay close together, and choose certain adaptations on the fundamentals to practice together.

For skiing, we will check out interest and adapt to the group. Please let us know if you'd like to join!

Prerequisites

• Solid edge control (for example, be able to handle flat sections by holding an edge).
• Comfortable with the 'Teller' lift / Button Lift

This group will have two snowboarding instructors, making it possible to split the group depending on what interests and progress level each student has. We’ll adapt exercises — for example, some participants can get air on the kicker if ready, while others slide to the top and come down safely. On the rail, some students can practice 50-50s while others practice boardslides, while everyone received the safety breakdown and instructor to hold the participants up.
