Swiss Snow Academy
After successfully completing the Swiss Snow League, you are ready for the Swiss Snow Academy, and you’ll receive the Swiss Snow Academy Card. Thanks to the instructions of our coaches, you will mature into an expert on the slope, in the Snowpark or off-slope. You learn among like-minded people and share your experiences with them.
The Swiss Snow Academy Card is your personal «keycard». It confirms you as a member and states the turn, air or trick that you are able of.
