SNO!storm – Riders Own!
Big events and parks these days are far to often designed by faceless park crews – SNO!storm should never be that way and as such this is a riders own park at SNO!zone Scotland– a basic layout is awaiting your input and feedback to pull together an epic setup for all levels of freestyle! Fill in the park features, put in your 2 cents and watch as a killer night of jib is pulled together by the riders.
To push this night to new levels a crack troop of commando’s is currently raiding the stores of various slopes across the UK to grab, borrow or steal a stack of features to help create a monster of a night!
SNO!storm brings together an immense night of freestyle, free coaching, full rookie park and live DJ’s with 5 hours of freestyle for the price of a normal freestyle night! 7pm – Midnight Friday 12th of Feb.
Check out the chat so far on the FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE and get your 2 cents in on the layout!
ALSO Join the SNO!zone Scotland Facebook Fan page and for every additional 30 fans we get we announce a giveaway for a slope pass for SNO!zone Scotland! Suggest to your friends and see more giveaways!

Oh Nooooo, this won't mean it's busy during the day will it? I've got my first lesson at 2.15pm and don't want the shame of lots of pro's seeing me spending an hour and a half on my arse.

Don't worry Rhona its an incredible balancing act getting SNO!storm to happen - we have to look after the lesson's first before we put out the whole rookie park - the main slope will have a fair few features out but we wont set out the lesson slope with all the features until the last minute 
generaly if there is an issue also we can sort something out for you

Bags,
I feel like a right fraud. I suggested on the facebook page, that the rookie part is split in half : total freestyle newbs on one side and folkks wanting to improve on stuff they already know. I saw a post on here last week saying that you were going to do it, so I was stoked that not only did you listen to my input, but that I would enjoy this snostorm better than my last time. Now thanks to fecking valentines, i'm going out for dinner on Friday and can't make it through - totally gutted. I'll be there next Thurs though.
Are you finishing up at Braehaed? I recall seeing something about this being your last big park???

Jon dont worry mate it was a damned good call and we are setting it up as such - the side nearest to the doors will have single hits so that you dont have to rattle several features at once. its something we wouldnt have thought of without your chat and no doubt will be replicated!
I'm finishing up in about a month true enough BUT i have not built a single bit of this park The head of park is Billy Laing and the feedback was taken by him and his crew (craig, greg and chris) to create the plan. I have not seen them this stoked on a park ever before! Its a incredible setup and a damned good park team building it. I honestly dont think we have ever had such a strong group of park builders - damned good guys who want to ride the park also so they setup an incredible night.
If you get the chance say hi to them, they are all sound guys and allways want to hear feedback or suggestions!

Bags,
What's the deal with the Thurs night freestyle coaching mentioned at the bottom of your posts? I'm coming through next Thurs, but mainly because it's a cheap night and because there is a couple of things to play on, otherwise it can be a bit boring.
I'm a total beginner to freestyle, although I have boarded on and off for 15years. If the coaching is on, and it's not too dear, then might give it a go. Any info greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Jon

From what I've seen at Braehead the coaching goes as far as instructors on the slope who offer advice and some coaching if you approach them. Last Snostorm I went to there was me and another who wanted to do bs180s and front boards, ended up getting 2 hrs of 1 on 2 tuition

There will be a ski and board coach available at SNO!Storm, to assist when needed. They will be mainly working around the rookie area which is very popular giving on the spot advice. It will be Laura for ski and Keri for board. It's part of Storm, no cost or booking required.

Thursdays are coaching nights and on board we have a rookie and intermediate session, almost every week. If you are a complete rookie then there is a session for you. Thursdays are setup with coaching/progression in mind. Friday is the main riding night for freestyle.

- Is there an additional cost for the coaching? If so, how much?
- Do you need to book it?
- Is it a solid hour/couple of hours at a time - i'm coming through from Edinburgh with some mates, and don't want to just drop them for 2 hours or so.... it would be too rude!!
What i'm really getting at, is it like sno storm where there is someone on standby to offer advice as and when you need it, or is this proper 1 to 1 (or group) coaching?
Thanks

Was heaving in Xscape this afternoon. Loads of kids. Are they off school?
The lessons were full which sucked. I thought they'd be quiet on a Friday afternoon 'cause people are at work/school.
