Additional requirements
All Freestyle participants must hold a valid athlete membership for the current season.
Freestyle Ski participants require a Club Athlete Membership, while Freestyle Snowboard participants require a Recreational Membership. No membership is required for Intro to Alpine Skiing.
Please note, lift passes are not included in lesson fees for season-long and January-start Freestyle programs. Please see the specific program description for pass requirements and discount opportunities.
Cold Weather Preparedness and Cancellations
Freestyle skiing and snowboarding are outdoor winter sports, and participants must be prepared for a wide range of conditions. At WinSport, safety is paramount. Coaches will keep athletes active, engaged, and introduce warm-up routines and breaks alongside other adaptations to ensure athletes are safe, comfortable, and continue to learn on colder weather days.
In the event of extreme weather, it may be necessary for WinSport to cancel a lesson. This decision will be based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, temperature, wind chill, humidity, cloud cover and time of the lesson. In the event of a cancellation, all participants will be alerted by email.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at freestyleclubs@winsport.ca.
We look forward to seeing you at WinSport!
