Fundamentalz is a grassroots entry level program for young athletes that want to start learning to ski on jumps and features in the terrain park. The ideal candidate for this program is an athlete who has completed 1 or 2 seasons with snow-school and already has a firm grasp on skiing.

 

The goal of the Fundamentalz program is to learn the basics of Freestyle skiing skills. Each athlete will learn jumping skills, simple tricks (like grabs, twisters, spreads, 180's), terrain park etiquette, how to navigate and choose a route in the park according to their personal abilities and how to approach and stay on boxes and rails. Athletes also learn to respect the terrain which they train on and the etiquette required when skiing on the mountain and within the park. At the end of the day, the goal is to ensure that each athlete goes home with a smile on their face and has learned a skill that will stay with them forever.

 

When an athlete graduates from this program, they will then be ready to enrol in the Jr. Freestylerz program, which is the next stage in the freestyle progression.

 

Athletes are encouraged to compete at the annual year end club competition, Yukon Champs.
