SKIING
Park Labs is designed to help skiers on their first day in the park all the way up to 360s over medium park features. Park Labs focuses on core skiing skills that help athletes become more centered and generate power from their skis that allows them to pop, grab, spin and slide over features with confidence.
BUNSEN + DROPPER TWINS + TUBES
Our friendly mascots Bunsen and the Dropper Twins helps motivate progression. Skiers can earn unique stickers of Bunsen/The Dropper Twins as they progress throughout the season. Bunsen sticker additionally comes in bronze, silver
and gold— skiers can earn them all as
they master their skills/tricks.
Tubes oversees all things fun! Tubes is all about Good Vibes, Fun and Safety!
At Park Labs, we take the concept of fun seriously! Alongside skill development, we prioritize:
-
Positive Mindsets: Visualization techniques, goal setting, and overcoming fear with Tubes' good vibes sticker.
-
Camaraderie and Teamwork: Encouraging athletes to support one another and forge lasting friendships with Tubes' good times sticker.
-
Safety: Teaching athletes to handle themselves in a park environment without a coach or team present, recognized with a Tubes' park “rule of the road” sticker.
TRAINING ENVIRONMENT
Central to our ethos is fostering a supportive, team-oriented environment where athletes can thrive. Structured sessions focus on mastering techniques such as popping, grabbing, spinning, 50/50s, and slides on small to medium park features. While free skiing remains integral, every drill is tailored to enhance performance on park runs.
Freestyle athletes often exhibit free-thinking traits, such as ADD, ADHD, or dyslexia. One of Park Labs' owners, Shawn, shares these traits and knows how to design programs that cater to them.
