Poster: A snowHead
|
Hey guys,
Im off for a week skiing on the 28th in serre chevalier and fancied a go at snowboarding... do any of you know if there is anywhere that offer 'taster' sessions or half day lessons? If so do you know prices???
Any help is much appreciated,
thanks,
tom

Honest opinion - a "taster" half-day lesson is a waste of time. You won't get anywhere near the point where you enjoy it, so you'll just end up with a bad impression of snowboarding. Go full-bore or don't do it!
If you don't want to spend your whole holiday learning to snowboard, learn on a dryslope or in a dome before you go.

tomb, I reckon if you're halfway interested do a 'learn to board in a day' type thing in a dome somewhere. Most seem to find it quite knackering and painful, so keep it away from your holiday. If you can get a couple of sessions in after that then you might reach the magic "Click Day" when it all seems to fall into place and make sense. It comes at different times for different people. Then you could ski for the hols and if you fancy a day snowboarding you won't feel like you may have 'wasted' a day if you don't get on with it.
