Today, your instructors will take you to the slopes to begin your lessons. The group will be split up according to your level of experience (first-timers vs beginners) and your instructors will have a lesson plan tailored according to your group’s overall ability, fitness and general progression.

After the full day of lessons, you will be familiar with strapping into your snowboard, skating around with your board, taking the chair lift as well as sliding and slowing down on both your heel side and toe side variations.

These skills will give you the confidence to make your way down beginner slopes slowly and carefully, as well as avoid any obstacles along the way. The day on the slopes will end at 5PM today and you’ll head back to the apartments to freshen up and explore the town after.

Day 3 of the camp is when we take it up a notch! The morning will be used to practice and improve your basic heel-side and toe-side progression.

Once your instructors see that you are ready, they will introduce to you the techniques of turning on a snowboard. You will use the next half of the day to practice and master both your C & S turns and eventually linking them up and making your turns as smooth as possible.

By the end of the day, you will have learnt all the necessary beginner techniques there are to snowboarding and it’s all about practice from here on.

Your 3rd day on the slopes is when you’ll start getting the hang of your newly learnt skills. The first 2 days are always the most challenging and from here on out, you’ll see improvements and progression a lot quicker. You will start to really understand the movements and techniques required and this is when you will really start to enjoy snowboarding and understand why so many are addicted to it.

Your instructor will use the day to fine-tune your techniques and ensure that no bad habits are formed during the course of your learning.

Lessons today will be half a day in the morning. Use the 2nd half of the day to practice on your own or take a break if you start to feel tired.
