Freestyle Training
In-House Freestyle Accreditation
Any instructor wanting to take students through The Zoo or any other park is REQUIRED to attend a Freestyle Accreditation course.
The only exception is if you have your PSIA/AASI Freestyle Specialist 1 or higher.
This paid 2 hour on snow clinic is REQUIRED every other season for anyone wanting to access the Zoo. If you attended this clinic on snow last season, you only have to complete the quiz to become re-accredited.
Participation and a passing quiz score are both required to be accredited for taking students into The Zoo. Trainers and supervisors have a working roster of those who are allowed to take students into The Zoo.
FS Accreditation stickers are available for those who pass. See Ryan Colesar in the Sup Bowl.
A Level 1 in your discipline and a FS2 is REQUIRED to bring your students into ANY terrain park larger than The Zoo. Do not use Fireweed or Forest Park for groomers.
