Smart Style Safety

The National Ski Areas Association and Burton Snowboards have developed the "Smart Style" Freestyle Terrain Safety initiative, a cooperative effort to continue the proper use and progression of freestyle terrain at mountain resorts, while also delivering a unified message that is clear, concise, and effective.

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

1. 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.
   
   
2. 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.
   
   
3. EASY STYLE IT
   Start small and work your way up. (Inverted aerials not recommended).
   
   
4. RESPECT GETS RESPECT
   From the lift line through the park.
