Snowboard / Freeski
Two alpine tours, season ticket in Trysil and rail park right outside the door!
Park, powder and progression
On the Snowboard/Freeski line you get to develop on jumps and rails, on freshly prepared trails and in delicious powder. You get personal guidance to master new tricks, and everyone supports each other to progress.
Season ticket in Trysil and railpark outside the door
You get a season pass in Trysil, Norway's largest ski resort. Here you will find one of the country's best parks, which is regularly used for the European Cup! The season pass can also be used outside of classes.
In the winter, you also have the school's rail park right outside the boarding house. Here there are lights all evening and elements of all levels of difficulty.
We kickstart the season at the indoor facility "Snø", and during the year we visit facilities in Norway, Sweden, Austria and Switzerland.
Skate, gymnastics and strength
When there is no snow, we work on ironing, fitness, gymnastics, trampoline, wakeboarding, surfing, diving and skating.
In Elverum we have a skate park. You can also join facilities in Hamar and Brumunddal, with all the possibilities. The gym in Elverum has a professional trampoline. It is located next to a foam pit, and is perfect for practicing rotations, flips and coordination.
Ski and snowboard film
Film is a big part of skiing and snowboarding, and at the school we have a lot of equipment you can borrow.

Learning for life
The curriculum is important, but Elverum Folk High School is much more than just the curriculum. You also have electives in the afternoons and evenings, study trips with overnight stays, Saturday classes, and there is a lot of social happening – both planned and spontaneous.
All of these moments, encounters, and experiences provide valuable learning that will build and develop your skills, personality, and competencies for the rest of your life.
No matter what you're going to do after folk high school, it'll be better when you have a little more experience. Know yourself a little better. Have a slightly larger network and have challenged yourself.
Study trips with Snowboard/Freeski
Hintertux, Austria
We kick-start the season in the same place as many of the world's best: in Hintertux!
Here we drive on glaciers and play with snow underfoot as early as October, with mountains of up to 3250m all around us.
LAAX, Switzerland
Laax in Switzerland has been voted the world's best freestyle resort for the last nine years. We live at an altitude of 2228 meters, in the middle of the resort with the parks right outside the door. In addition, there are crazy freestyle opportunities when it snows.
SNOW indoor
We visit SNØ in the autumn to kick-start the season. The indoor facility allows you to get the feeling of skiing and snowboarding well before the snow settles outside. Here there are both jumps and rails or opportunities to cruise.
Surf camp
You will join a surf camp in Hoddevik or Jæren. Here you will be introduced to surfing from experienced instructors, and you can surf several sessions each day.

Sälen, Hemsedal and Trysil
We travel to Sälen in Sweden a little later in the season, when the parks are well established and the probability of good conditions increases. The parks are considered some of Sweden's best, and here we get variety and a good run-up to the alpine tour.
We end the season in Hemsedal, where the slopes remain until May. Like Trysil, Hemsedal is one of the most recognized facilities in Norway.
Trysilfjellet will be our main arena and you will receive a season ticket that can be used both inside and outside of classes. We ride park and powder, and work so that everyone can enjoy themselves on the slopes, feel mastery and progress.

The best thing about going on the line is the people and the good class environment. We give feedback and motivate each other for positive development.
