What's coming up...

Parallel Lines Race Series

The Parallel Lines race series is a fun open race, for both skiers and snowboarders, aimed at riders with disabilities and assisted needs but open to everyone! The races are slalom races suitable for a wide range of abilities, taking pace in various indoor snow centres across the UK. The race is an opportunity for anyone to get into racing. The races are suitable for all skiers and snowboarders, including everyone with physical disabilities, acquired injuries, intellectual disabilities and sensory processing differences.

Para Snowboard Progression Sessions

The Progression Sessions are open to any snowboarders with a disability or additional support needs looking to develop their skills and push their riding to the next level. During the sessions we'll work on ensuring the fundamentals are honed so you have a good platform to work from as we explore how to ride different parts of the mountain.

Future Sessions

Each session will take attendees through the Futures Awards syllabus, starting with off-snow movement prep and preparing to learn on-snow tricks. It will then offer those with some experience a chance to up their skill set and learn new tricks with coaches or just the chance to rip some rails and jumps. Want to get shredding on the snow this season? Pop along and give these sessions a try!
