Dolomiti Superski
A new series of special one day courses are being offered from this weekend at more than 20 snow parks across the giant Dolomiti Superski region in North Western Italy.
The new "Drop In" days are staged every Wednesday and Saturday and targeted at teens aged 12 to 18.
The idea is that the young people learn how to use terrain park features properly during the six-hour sessions which run from 10am to 4pm.
Whether on twin-tip skis or snowboards, pros will teach participants to fly over the kickers and in the pipes as well as the best way to tackle rails and boarder crosses. The courses are offered at a discounted rate and freestyle equipment is included if need.
A full list of the terrain parks where the Drop In days are offered, along with contact details for the relevant ski and board school, is available online at: http://www.dolomitisuperski.com/en-US/freestyleen.html
Venues include Arabba, which has received more than a metre of snow in the past week as well as Arabba, Alta Badia, Val Gardena and the Fassa Valley.
