FORTUNE FREESTYLE DECEMBER NEWS
We are consolidating our communications to club members with our monthly newsletter of current events, a look ahead and important announcements. Subscribe to the newsletter at fortunefreestyle.com.
WELCOME TO A GREAT NEW SEASON!
Fortune Freestyle is ready for a great 2019-2020 season. We welcome all returning and new skiers, parents, coaches and volunteers. We are so proud of our supportive community that will help each skier thrive in a safe and fun environment, build self-confidence, grow friendships and develop a lifelong passion for freestyle skiing.
Both our recreational and competitive programs are filled with fun on and off snow, for kids and parents alike, with opportunities to compete at Timber Tours, provincials, national championships, or show your tricks and skills at local fun events such as the Bump-off or Duffy duals.
As we strive to continuously improve our program, we are introducing freestyle lessons for adults and private coaching.
You can also take advantage of training and learning opportunities for athletes, parents and volunteers such as judging clinics, sapling sessions, and coaching courses.
Don’t forget our second Christmas camp Jan. 2-5. It is a wonderful opportunity for your child to build new friendships before the start of the Winter program on January 11.
The Winter program ends March 8, 2020. But the fun continues beyond that date with spring skiing, airbag training, trampoline, water ramps during the summer and dryland during the Fall.
Be sure to read our Newsletter for the latest updates and regularly check your Team Snap App.
