Take your air skills to the next level! Water ramp and Air Bag training is an integral component of freestyle skiing and bridges the gap between trampoline training and taking tricks to snow. Skiers and snowboard athletes use the air bag facility at Silver Star. Generally water ramps are only for ski specific training but occasionally snowboarders hit the water ramp as well. All coaches require NCCP Air 1, 2, 3 and 4 qualifications to coach in the water ramp and air bag environments.
Prerequisites
- 11+ years old
- Current Freestyle Canada membership
- Confident parallel skier on black terrain
