Welcome to the Future of Winter.

The Future is Now.

For too long, the mountain has been governed by a broken, outdated system. A "mainstream status quo" that creates barriers instead of joy. We believe you deserve better. So, with a flick of the switch, we pulled the plug.

Welcome to the Slopefriend Lodge. We've created the first complete re-design of the skiing experiences. A safer, more intuitive, and open-ended system that is collaborative, fun, and makes it EASY to be yourself on the mountain.

Imagine having 360-degree access to the slopes, maneuvering through any area with confidence, and joining the few who have truly upgraded their mountain experience.

Through simplified commands, fun tumbling skills, and a deep, kinesthetic connection to your gear, you will make the mountain your new home .

“With the Slopefriend Method; learning was fun, intuitive, and natural. I could see the results immediately and by the middle of the first day - never mind by the end of the day -> I literally surprised myself! Which; I have done very few times in my life.”.

-Carlyn Cowen -NYC

This is more than a lesson;

it's a complete re-vision

of the mountain experience.

built on 20 years of competitive excellence

and 20 years of research and development.

The slope is your dance floor.

For twenty years, an entire art form born of winter dreamers lay dormant, dismissed by the mainstream and forgotten by the world.

They called it "ski ballet." I called it my life's work.

your guide:

Jason Andrew Bodnar —> USFST alumni + FIS WC Medalist +1995 U.S. National Champion in Freestyle Skiing*.

My name is Jason Bodnar. I grew up on the slopes, where practicing the fluid, free movements of freestyle skiing every day gave me a connection to the sport that endures.

It was my native language. I was a US Champion, competing on the world stage, but when the governing bodies pulled the plug on the sport in 2000, I was faced with a choice: walk away like everyone else, or become its guardian.
