Smart Style

Four main points of Smart Style

MAKE A PLAN

Every time you use Freestyle Terrain, make a plan for each feature you want to use.
Your speed, approach and takeoff will directly affect your maneuver and landing.

LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP

Before getting into freestyle terrain observe all signage and warnings
Scope around the jumps first not over them
Use your first run as a warm up run and to familiarize yourself with the terrain
Be aware that the features change constantly due to weather, usage, grooming and time of day
Do not jump blindly and use a spotter when necessary

EASY STYLE IT

Know your limits and ski/ride within your ability level
Look for small progression parks or features to begin with and work your way up
Freestyle skills require maintaining control on the ground and in the air
Do not attempt any features unless you have sufficient ability and experience to do so safely
Inverted aerials increase your risk of injury and are not recommended

RESPECT GETS RESPECT

Respect the terrain and others
One person on a feature at a time
Wait your turn and call your start
Always clear the landing area quickly
Respect all signs and stay off closed terrain and features

Be sure you Know the Code: You're Responsibility Code provides safety tips while on the slopes. Smart Style is a terrain park specific safety program that you should check out before using terrain parks.

The Sun Valley Ski and Snowboard School will utilize the terrain to heighten the skill level of their freestyle snowboard and skiing students.
