FAQ’S

  • What is a Try It day?

Try it days allow for a Skier or Snowboarder to join our club for a SINGLE day of participation with a limited participation membership with our sanctioning bodies.

  • Can I join for a Try Freeride Day At any time?

Try Freeride Days (also known as Try Freestyle Days) are offered on select dates throughout the season and are scheduled in advance to ensure appropriate coaching staff are available for all participants.

We do offer drop-in sessions and may be able to arrange occasional additional Try It opportunities. However, these must be booked in advance to allow us to coordinate coaching availability. Our scheduled Try It Days are the best way to guarantee an opportunity to come out, meet the team, and experience Jasper Freeride!

Please note that Try It memberships can only be used once per season, so participants should choose their preferred opportunity carefully.

  • Does a Parent need to participate?

Nope! our minimum ability requirements deem that your child should already be skiing or snowboarding independently.

PLEASE READ OUR MINIMUM ABILITY REQUIREMENTS PRIOR TO REGISTERING.

We have a dedicated meeting location on Try-It Days that allows for parents to “drop off”. We do ask that you remain close and available by phone in case of any emergencies.

  • Why do I need the Membership/Insurance?

Our club is sanctioned under both Freestyle Alberta/Canada and Alberta/Canada Snowboard. As a result, all participants are required to hold a membership with the appropriate governing body for insurance purposes.

Our Try It Days offer a 1-Day or Limited Membership option, allowing participants to take part in our programming without the cost of a full-season membership.
