Shape Academy | CREATING QPARKS
You’re still snoozing – they dig out your park. You’re already standing at the umbrella bar celebrating that rad park session – they get the takeoffs into shape again. You are at school/college/work– they are on the mountain. You study or work– they build QParks.
By “they” – we mean the men and women from the Shape Academy who take care of your playgrounds day after day. Our shapers spend their days and sometimes nights on the mountain - surrounded by nature, and they create your icy dreams from the snowcapped reality. No matter whether shaper, multimedia shaper, head shaper, park designer or snowcat operator: they are all united by their love for nature and their passion for snow sports and the mountains.
In our lead article including video, find out why this one fella battles his way through the isolated cold only accompanied by his snowcat. His name is Roli Winkler, fleet manager of the Shape Academy. If you’re fancying icy snowcat shots and if you wanna know how some of your favorite parks are created, then please find our collection of build-up documentaries here.
You wanna swap the lecture hall or the office for the mountains and the laptop for the shape tool? Life on the mountain is just a few clicks away. Check out the outdoor office opportunities you can experience with the Shape Academy– We’re looking forward to meeting you!
See you at the park!
