We recommend taking a week of group lessons to get you moving around the mountain confidently. With whatever focus you choose. Need to build confidence after an accident or injury?
The opportunities are endless. Check out our off-piste snowboard lessons. That way you can decide if a group or a private lesson is appropriate for your snowboarding needs. You can of course unsubscribe at any time. I have learnt a few tricks over the years and can keep up with some pretty fast riders. But as soon as my instructor had one look at my riding, he instantly spotted 3 important ways I could improve my technique. I still have a bit of practice to do to get this technique to become second nature but the results of fixing my flaws has been as instant success in improving my riding.
If you are just starting out then taking lessons is also a great idea. It will help you to start with good technique and lessen your chances of picking up bad habits.
Or if you have been riding for a while but suspect you could improve your technique then lessons are going to be hugely beneficial. Obviously group lessons are cheaper but you get a lot more out of one-on-one lessons. The private lesson is entirely focused on you. You are the whole focus for the whole lesson. You not only get instruction whilst on the slope and get observed whilst on the slope and watch your instructor on the slope — you also get some valuable information about your technique on the lifts.
This means that time riding on the slopes practicing and trying the techniques is maximized and you can get through a lot more. The private lesson in this case would still be more beneficial, but not as worth the cost because you will be learning the same things as others who are just starting out.
Thanks for reading and I hope this has inspired you to take lessons. They really did make a big difference for me. This is why professional instruction is so important. So you want to learn to snowboard… a great idea!
This will build your confidence along with your skills and help reduce risk of injury. Your overall rate or learning will be much faster as well as preventing you picking up bad techniques that are difficult to get rid of once they are set in. Snowboard lessons are designed to be fun and a good instructor will ensure that your stoke levels are sky high at the end of each lesson. Your snowboard instructor will also ensure you are learning on the optimum equipment for your level and that it is set up correctly, specifically for you.
The trained, eagle eyes of an instructor will enable them to give you individual feedback directed on where you are going right or wrong. These are things an untrained eye is not able to pick up on.
Due to the initial steep learning curve with snowboarding, relative beginners can quickly get around the mountain with ease and often a general lack of control. So many people fall under this somewhat wooly category of an intermediate … and so few people get beyond it.
The best way to avoid this frustration is to get some professional coaching from a Technical Performance course. This time could be put to great use learning news skills. Progression equals fun! Knowing how to improve and what to work on will boost the fun factor and keep you motivated. Snowboarding is awesome, but snowboarding is ten times more awesome when you feel that you are progressing; whether it be learning new tricks, riding new terrain or discovering new aspects of snowboarding, such as splitboarding.
For example, imagine the feeling of landing your first when you had previously never dared dream that it might even be possible. And for those who have already progressed to an advanced level , do you think that the likes of our Olympic Bronze medalist, Jenny Jones, have got there without a coaching? Quite simply, no. And even though I consider myself at an advanced level of riding, I suspect that if I can fix the flaws in my technique then I can become a much better rider.
The main purpose of doing this is to gain some insight into the effectiveness of lessons so that I can reliably recommend that people take lessons or otherwise. To become a better rider you should always have goals. Just for informational purposes, last season — when I started moving into freestyle — I focused on riding switch, learning ollies, doing some small jumps off natural lips and some manuals. I could already ride switch and do ollies but I wanted to fine tune those aspects. The reason for this is that hopefully my old, potentially bad, habits will be at their weakest then.
Not only that, I want this experiment to show one way or the other whether or not it is necessary to take lessons — and how beneficial they actually are. Get the 7 step email series plus other relevant snowboarding emails, review releases, promotions, and information from time to time.
