 Poster: A snowHead
|
We're going to Trysil over new year (25/26) and my 16yo is keen to learn to snowboard. But - SkiStar seem to be the only lesson provider and have nothing at all for his age group. Before I feel the wrath of the teen, can anyone recommend a suitable provider? He's already a good skiier and has had a couple of indoor sessions on a board. The only other option is to switch to a different resort eg Hemsedal, as we've already got London-Oslo flights booked.
All ideas/recommendations appreciated..!

 Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Wouldn’t any adult group be ok for him if he’s 16? I’ve not been to trysil, but went to kvitfjell last year and really enjoyed it. The resorts in Norway seem to have pretty mellow terrain unless you’re activity seeking-out blacks. So he may be fine with a couple of YouTube videos to be honest (recommend the Malcolm Moore ones - it’s how I learned).

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@hjf, is this on line you are seeing this? Ring them, they are very good on the phone or look at privates as I assume you mean there are no group lessons above.

@ster, only looked online but waiting for an email reply from them. Will call tomorrow though, good plan. Happy to do private for him, he'd only need a bit to get started. I can't see any adult lessons either - v frustrating.
Do any other lesson providers operate in Trysil or is it only through SkiStar?

@hjf, only them in reality for ski . They own the whole hill. The ski school used to have separate website as far as I remember but its basically SkiStar owned.
They may put more classes on as the season approaches and as they finalise instructor availability , its a bit early.
But you may find some private instructors but I doubt it.
