Katie Summerhayes How To Get The Perfect Freestyle Setup

Taking the step from piste skiing to park can be a little daunting for those uninitiated. From park etiquette and the potentially baffling language of freestyle skiing to dedicated freestyle fashion and specific technical setup of ski equipment, there’s a fair bit to take in.
