Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

snowboard lessons in Val Thorens

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Next week in VT will be my first week snowboarding. I plan to get a couple of lessons (perhaps one to one) to get me going and was then going to see how I got on myself for the rest of the week. The mate I'm going with can snowboard so he can show me the ropes, plus I can already wakeboard so I'm hoping that will help me a bit (just got to remember to lean forwards not back!).

Can anyone recommend where I can get some lessons from? Should I just ask at the place where I hire my board? How much is a one to one lesson likely to cost me?

Thanks,

Tim

PhotoTim, can't answser you questions directly but have you read Masque's excellent 2 part begginers guide in this forum? That combined with a lesson and spending time with your mate should have you about on a board in no time at all.

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

wakeboarding = powder snowboarding. Same technique.

PhotoTim, I paid 70€ for a 2-hour 1:1 lesson in 2Alpes. And in the current slushy conditions I wouldn't worry about leaning forward as you'll just fall down.

 Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Our group was in VT in 2004, so things can obviously have changed since then.

However we had a complete beginner that year, who took lessons with Prosneige, mainly because they had a good rep. He seemed to make excellent progress with them, so they might be worth a go.

yeah I can imagine it would be similar, I guess there won't be any powder though Sad

Thanks for all the replies.

Mr admin is a helpful chap isn't he?! He's going to look into some lessons for me. Next question:

Should I get a (very) limit number of one to one lessons (1.5-2 hours worth) or should I get something like 3 x 2 hour lessons which I guess would probably work out about the same cost?
