What can I expect on my Snowboard Improvement Course?
You can expect to be involved in a snowboard training program that will be a lot of fun, a lot of hard work and you will have a lot of challenges to over come. But in the end you will be a much better rider than you can ever imagine, with the skills and the knowledge to go out and snowboard as best you can.
You will be training on snow 3 days a week, sometimes more, and then we will expect you to be practicing what you have learnt at least another two days a week. On top of that there will be video analysis session in the evenings and every week there will be the option to attend at least one evening theory session indoors.
