At Park Labs, we take the concept of fun seriously!

  • 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.

BUNSEN + DROPPER TWINS + TUBES

Our friendly mascots Bunsen and the Dropper Twins help motivate progression. Riders earn unique stickers of Bunsen/The Dropper Twins as they progress throughout the season. Bunsen stickers come in bronze, silver and gold— riders can earn them all as they master their skills/tricks.

Tubes oversees all things fun! Tubes is all about Good Vibes, Fun and Safety!

Athletes will compete in the Collingwood Groms Series throughout the season, with additional opportunities to participate in It Came from the Labs! events. Whether the goal is provincial competition or simply becoming one of the strongest riders in the local park, Team Labs provides the environment to get there.

SESSION LABS

Mount St. Louis Moonstone

12 weeks (Sat only)

Ride together. Progress together. Make every lap count.
Session Labs is a new pilot program designed for snowboarders who want to spend more time riding with athletes their own age, while continuing to build freestyle skills in a fun, progression-focused environment.

Built around plenty of park laps, video review, and individual coaching, Session Labs gives riders the opportunity to develop style, consistency,
and confidence while riding with a crew that shares similar goals.

Instead of progressing through individual Bunsen skill stickers, athletes work toward earning the Park Labs Logo in Silver, Gold, and Rainbow by mastering groups of freestyle skills throughout the season. The focus is
on quality movement, consistency, and developing a riding style that reflects each athlete's personality.

Athletes can participate in the Collingwood Groms Series throughout the season, with opportunities to compete in It Came From the Labs! events. Saturday coaching is included with the program. As this is a pilot program, athletes wishing to attend Sunday events, may do so by registering for additional event coaching.

Whether the goal is landing cleaner tricks, riding with more style, or simply spending a full day progressing with friends, Session Labs provides the environment to make every run count.
