We have teamed up with Pleisure Holidays, the snowboard operator in Courchevel, to provide a complete package, half board accommodation, lift pass, hire and instruction from £570. For more details check out their website, www.pleisureholidays.com

Not many people know this but we are also ski instructors too and we also offer private lessons on two planks. You can even do a dual sport week and work on your ski and board skills!

So we had a new park last season. There was a boarder cross course down one side, throught the middle is a set of 7 different boxes colour coded for difficulty. Next to them a run of blue kicker, hip and a red and blue kicker next to each other. For this coming season we are hoping for more features in the park, last season was better than before and certainly a good park to teach in.

We are running some days at the Chill Factore at Manchester over the Summer. The format for the day will be looking at everyone’s performances, working through some drills to develop techniques, video analysis with end of day debrief on what to work on. Within this we will look at the different ways we alter our inputs to create different types of turn, focusing on what you can feel yourself about your performance and how to then help you work out how to improve. We want you to think more about what you are doing but more importantly why you are doing it. Ability wise anyone who can ride linking turns on the main slope and can use the drag lift is welcome to come along for the session(s). The cost is £100 per day which includes lift pass for the day (normally £37 for 4hrs for an adult!) and equipment hire should you require it. Times are 9.30am to 4.30pm with a break for lunch. Dates are: June 26th July 17th August 14th Please get in touch as to which day(s) you would like to book.
