Castle Mountain Freestyle Club

Castle Mountain Freestyle

 

This on-hill ski club is the club for kids who love to ski & want to improve.  Our club promotes a safe, positive and fun environment for skill development and it encourages young athletes to go as far as they want both in the sport and in life.

Castle Mtn Freestyle (formerly Wild West Freestyle) offers the best club venue for a mountain freestyle club in Alberta.  We have both a designated air and mogul site that's closed to the general public. These venues provide us with an excellent training site for our kids so they can safely progress their jumps and skiing style.

This is our entry level program designed to introduce the FUNdamentals of freestyle skiing: bumps, jumps, terrain park skills and all mountain skiing. Our experienced coaches will instill in young skiers an appreciation of safe, fun freestyle skiing and they will measure their skill development throughout the season. To take part in this program, children must be able to load and ride the chairlift unassisted, have previously skied at a mountain resort and must be able to keep balanced and link turns on a green run.
