På Switch får du mye tid på ski eller snowboard og mulighet til å utvikle deg i ditt eget tempo. Noen er nye i parken, andre har kjørt i mange år. Vi trener sammen, og du velger selv om du vil ha mest fokus på park, pudder eller litt av begge deler.

Når vinteren kommer, er vi på snø opptil fire skoledager i uka. Vi bruker anleggene i Hemsedal, Geilo, Gol, Ål og Nesbyen, i tillegg til railparken med lys og snøkanon på skolen. Vil du kjøre også på fritiden, ligger alt til rette for svært mange skidager.

Før snøen kommer, trener vi balanse, styrke og bevegelse gjennom turn, trampoline, skating, pumptrack og stisykling. Vi bygger park, lærer om utstyr og forbereder oss på vinteren.

Gjennom året arbeider vi blant annet med:

Vi starter året med surfing på Stadt og reiser til Østerrike på vinteren for å kjøre park og frikjøring. Mot slutten av skoleåret blir Switch med resten av skolen til Gardasjøen i Italia.

Hallingdal gir oss en lang vintersesong og kort vei til flere av Norges største skianlegg. Etter undervisningen kan du bruke railparken, turnhallen eller dra tilbake i bakken sammen med de andre.
