A course for those who are completely new to snowboarding and want to learn the basics. We learn how to snowboard in a safe and enjoyable way. We start in the snowboard school area where we learn together to control the snowboard and use the button lift before venturing out into the system's easier slopes. The goal is to be able to control the speed of the snowboard, make stops, steer, and link toe and heel turns in easier slopes.
Prerequisites
No prior experience is required, but you must be able to be without your travel companions for the entire lesson time.
For those who have learned to snowboard and want to improve. We practice different sizes and shapes of turns, ride the chairlift, and learn techniques that make it easier to navigate in more varied and uneven terrain. Depending on the group's level, we also start playing and doing tricks to a lesser extent. The goal is to be able to control speed, size, and shape of turns, be more confident in your riding, and be able to ride in easier unprepared terrain.
Prerequisites
You can ride the button lift independently, stop by yourself, get up from a sitting position, and link toe and heel edges in easier slopes. You have also practiced more on "one-foot," when you have the back foot free and the front foot is strapped in.
With the mountain as our playground! We challenge ourselves on different slopes, learn to adapt turns and riding techniques based on the terrain. We try carving turns and riding switch, as well as learning easier tricks according to the group's ability. The goal is to be able to adapt your riding technique to different types of terrain, features, and snow conditions, and to be able to ride switch and make carving turns.
Prerequisites
You can control the speed, size, and shape of your turns, ride all lifts, and ride one-foot in a safe and stable manner.
