Ski og brett sport

Sport Extreme is a line for you who want to push your own limits. Here you will be introduced to a number of exciting activities. You will be challenged on various activities that require focus and endurance, technical skills and teamwork. The subject areas on the line are extreme sports, basic training and outdoor life.

We spend a lot of time outside in nature. Some of the subject areas we spend more time on than others. Outdoor recreation is central to what we do, since many of the activities we do take place outside. You will learn to assess your own skill level, assess risk and think about safety in relation to what we do.

During the winter, we spend our time on board and skiing sports and winter outdoor activities. The weather conditions determine whether we are outside or indoors and focus on climbing, diving theory, skating and preparation for line trips. You will be challenged to take an ice bath and to sleep outside when it is cold.
