Midlothian Snowsports Centre (aka Hillend) have now received their very own freestyle features... finally!

So far they’ve been christened in The Lowlander Scottish Freestyle Series and tested in the Scottish Universities Dry Slope Championships last weekend but it’s now time for the public debut while they’re still looking nice and shiny. This week Hillend are holding back-to-back freestyle sessions on Thursday 23 and Friday 24 October from 6-9pm so why not be one of the first to try out the straight box, a-frame and c-box.

Users must:
be able to link turns competently
be an advanced skier/boarder (ie level 7 ski/level 6 board)
have confidence approaching the kickers, controlling speed & direction
wear long sleeves, gloves & helmet
have a valid uplift ticket

Freestyle Sessions will take place each Friday thereafter, except 7 Nov when the British Uni’s Dry Slope Champs are on.
