The AIM Series isn't only about competitions though. They have also developed a schools tour to spread the message about skiing and snowboarding. They are offering 1200 free 30-45 minute lessons to anyone. So, at each of the events there will be about 200 kids offered the chance to try snowboarding or skiing for the first time.
