Smart Style

The Freestyle Terrain Safety Initiative, "Smart Style", created by The National Ski Areas Association educates both skiers and riders about the proper use and progression of terrain parks at mountain resorts. the "Smart Style" message along with existing safety messages; will help to heighten the sense of education and awareness about the proper use of terrain parks in a way that is not hard to deliver, or for that matter to digest.

The more people become involved to help spread the word, the better!

There are four main messages that are associated with Smart Style.

• MAKE A PLAN
  Every time you use freestyle terrain, make a plan for each feature you want to use. Your speed, approach and take off will directly affect your maneuver and landing.
• LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP
  Scope around the jumps first, not over them. Know your landings are clear and clear yourself out of the landing area.
• EASY STYLE IT
  Start small and work your way up.
• RESPECT GETS RESPECT 
  From the lift line through the park.
