This week the ski and snowboard coaches at Woodward at Copper inflated an enormous airbag on the slopes at Copper Mountain, the latest training tool in an arsenal that also includes indoor trampolines, foam pits, harness systems, and Snowflex jibs and jumps, all helping teach the aerial awareness and confidence you'll need to step up your riding.
To get a piece of the pillow, start with the mandatory One Hit Wonder Session ($59.99) in The Barn, then follow it up with an Airbag Session ($29.99; get a discounted lift ticket for $59 in the bargain if you don't already have a season pass).
Pushing yourself to go big without ending your season early? Priceless.
