Shape Academy – The Shaping Pros for Perfect Rides
13.06.2018

The Shape Academy – this name not only stands for a professional crew, but also for an elite cadre factory in the snow business. Since 2014, the Shape Academy offers a training concept that provides winter sports enthusiasts with the chance to turn their passion into profession. 265 motivated members and instructors from 22 different countries form the team, which makes the Shape Academy the biggest institution for snow construction worldwide. Altogether, our crew members managed to build 115 snow facilities in five countries, and this was only last season. Their work sets the high quality standards of established brands like QParks and Funslope. Through professional shaping on a daily basis, sportsmen and -women of all levels have the possibility to experience unique moments on the mountain – no matter whether the sporty or fun aspect is paramount. The Shape Academy ensures “Perfect Rides”.

What may sound like an unachievable dream is the daily routine for Shape Academy members: They are the first ones on the top of the mountain in the morning, enjoying nature and pursuing a varied job every day. They create Fun Mountains by building and maintaining QParks, Funslopes, Funcross and other facilities at the highest quality standards. If it´s a shaping-rookie or an experienced park builder, everyone who is willing to bring passion and muscle power, will find a fitting job here.

THE POSITIONS AT THE SHAPE ACADEMY

Newcomers take their first steps in the shaping business as a shaper or multimedia shaper. After that, the head shaper position is next up the career ladder, where first managing skills will be acquired. These competences are prerequisite in order to become a park designer or project manager, who is fully responsible for their crew and the project itself. 

Shape Academy members who already gathered experience in a cockpit of a snowcat also get the chance to take their grooming skills to the next level by shaping snow facilities with the precision of heavy machinery. The technical director is responsible for several projects in one region; the main remits of this leading position are the safety issues and the constant development of every project on the mountain.
