The 7-week block of freestyle coaching sessions is open to snowboarders aged 11-15 years old (under 11s can join subject to ability level - please get in touch HERE to enquire). The next block available to book starts on 24th August - 12th October 2019. (There will be 1-week break on the 14th Sept to allow for the Holiday Weekend)
If your child is comfortably able to snowboard down our entire main slope and has attempted one or two freestyle features then this is the ideal next stage for them. This block of 7 sessions is designed to introduce children to the use of freestyle features and to start working on improving their tricks and style while having fun.

Course Information
This 7 week block is open to Children aged 11-15 years old. (We will also accept under 11s subject to ability level)
Minimum Requirements
Snowboard
Your child must be able to confidently link turns from the top of the main slope. May have attempted a small box or jump.
The Programme
Class Size
There will be a maximum ratio of 7 children to 1 coach for both Skiing and Snowboarding.
Slope Features
There will be at least 2 freestyle features out on the slope each week for the groups to use. These features will be small in size and dictated by the park plan from earlier in the week. The features may differ from week to week although they will always be of a similar level to a Small Kicker (Jump) + Flat box or Roller + Flat-Down Box
Coaching
The coaching team consists of fully qualified freestyle coaches. There will be one coach per group each week. The coaches will not always be working with the same groups every week and will move around.
The groups may not always be working on the features as some times it will be more beneficial to work on the slope instead.
Feedback
Coaching is different to instructing. The Snow Factor coaches will seek to encourage more student input than on lessons and will focus on working together with each student to achieve agreed individual goals for the block. There may be weeks where individual students receive less feedback from the coach because there is seen to be more benefit from personal practise. The coaches will be filling in report cards to detail what is being worked on over the 7 weeks.
