In addition to all the athlete training prices below, you may also need a Snowplanet RFID card to access the lifts and ski mat in the Snow Dome. A deposit of $7 is charged for this RFID card. Please keep the card for future use (duration of the program) or return it for a full refund.

Helmets are compulsory for all skiers and snowboarders in the Snow Dome. If you do not have a helmet, you must hire one for $8.

Freestyle Ski Program

Freestyle Skiing is all about creativity, expression, and fun. Instead of focusing on speed or racing, riders perform tricks and jumps using features like rails, jumps, and boxes.

Our Freeski program is a natural advancement from the Rippers N Riders program. The program is designed to progress and improve riders at their own pace so to enhance the enjoyment of all participants. We welcome any young athlete to the program that wants to advance their riding in a inclusive environment.

Athletes are encouraged to think for themselves with the coaches working closely with everyone to make sure goals are achieved. If athletes are looking to become more competitive our coaches will work alongside them to support the athlete to attain their best possible result.

Our Freestyle Skiing Program is the perfect next step after the Rip ‘n’ Ride Academy. It’s designed to help riders progress at their own pace, building confidence, skills, and a love for the sport. Whether you’re just starting out or already dreaming up new tricks, we welcome all young athletes who want to explore freestyle snowboarding. For those aiming to compete, our experienced coaches are here to guide and support you in reaching your full potential.

We can’t wait to see you on Thursday!!

  • Participants under 7 years old require approval from the Program Lead.
