'Drop In' Freestyle Days At Dolomiti Superski Snowparks
Freestyler at Plan de Corones, Italy
The 20 Dolomiti Superski snowparks will host a Drop in Freestyle Day twice a week for teenagers starting in mid-January 2010.
The aim of the Drop in Freestyle Day is to teach the freestyle techniques, safety rules, and how to respect nature. Ski and snowboard schools will offer fun freestyle days for children aged 12 to 18 on skis or snowboards at the 20 Dolomiti Superski snowparks.
This will take place twice a week from mid-January 2010 every Wednesday for those on a week's holiday and every Saturday for the weekenders. Specialist freestyle instructors will reveal the tricks of this new trade to groups of up to 10 children per instructor from 10 a.m to 4 p.m.
Participants will learn everything in a relaxed and safe manner. You can expect to learn how to tackle all the obstacles, including slope style, big air, halfpipes, stairs, walls, and rails.
In the freestyler world, ‘drop in' means the first approach, but it is also shouted by a freestyler before they tackle an obstacle course in a snowpark.
A day's course costs €45 per person or €69 including freestyle equipment hire with twin tip skis or a snowboard from Salomon Sports.
