Smart Style

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

Smart Style Explained
There are three main messages that are associated with Smart Style:

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