Mtn Freestyle (formerly Wild West Freestyle) offers the best club venue for a

excellent training site for our kids so they can safely progress their jumps
and skiing style.

their ski techniques for steep terrain and variable snow conditions as well as
increasing their jump, carve and bump skills. The group will build on
their existing skills to maximize their skiing performance and increase their
confidence. This program will utilize all of Castle terrain as well as
