Dear Park and Pipe Community,

Welcome back to the Park and Pipe monthly newsletter! The snow is starting to fall, marking the beginning of the season here in Australia. With that comes a start to the Park and Pipe events that will take place over the coming months. Snow Australia regularly update the Park and Pipe events calendar to keep track of all the upcoming events at Falls Creek, Mt Buller, Mt Hotham, Perisher, and Thredbo.

Park and Pipe FUTURES will run again this year with an EOI being released to gauge the interest from the Park and Pipe community in joining the best Park and Pipe athletes and coaches in the country to learn and develop their skills. The camp will feature a day at the NSTC and, pending conditions, a following day on-snow at Perisher, giving participants the opportunity to work on some new tricks with the Acro and Airbag facilities at the NSTC. Please be aware that expressing your interest in the following EOI does not guarantee you a spot in the camp, the formal registration will be released later.

Being physically prepared for the season is always key to ensure you make the most of everyday on the slopes. SnowReady sessions, hosted by 3x Olympian Sami Kennedy-Sim are a fantastic program that will prepare you for the season ahead. SnowReady is available on the Snow Australia website.

We know that a young person’s first trip to the snow can be a daunting experience, which is why the Snow Australia ‘Little Shredders’ program is the perfect introduction to snowboarding, conducted in a safe and welcoming classroom environment.

Designed to teach kids fundamental snowboarding skills, as well as build their confidence balancing on a board, the Little Shredders program has been developed to be taught in classrooms, giving kids a snowsport experience from the comfort of the indoors.

The curriculum modules cover skills such as snowsport specific balance, technique, equipment and snow safety knowledge, together with spatial awareness exercises in a fun team environment.
