Häufige Fragen

• What equipment is needed for snowboarding?

  The most important thing is to ensure that your snowboard slides well (freshly waxed) and that the edges are not rusty. The snowboard boots should fit well. In well-fitting boots, the heel sits firmly in the boot and does not slide upwards. As a test, you can step into the binding with your boots on and then try to lift your heel. If your foot first goes up several centimeters before the pressure is transferred to the snowboard, it is suboptimal. Snowboard socks are also recommended, as these are reinforced at the typical pressure points.
  
  You can also hire snowboarding equipment for snowboarding lessons. During the main season, you should definitely make a reservation, as otherwise the right sizes may no longer be available. Don't skimp on rental equipment. In the past, it has happened that unusable equipment has been rented out as a budget option.
  
  When it comes to clothing, you should use the onion principle with different layers. Especially when you are on the practice slope for the first time, it can get very warm and you will be glad if you can take off a layer during the snowboard course.
  
  The most important thing is to stay hydrated. So it's best to take a water bottle with you. As the sun is a little stronger at altitude, sunscreen is recommended.

• For whom is a private course suitable?

  In short, everyone benefits from private lessons. Especially if it's your first time on a snowboard, you can benefit enormously from a private instructor. This is because they can give you specific help and this guarantees optimum learning progress.
  
  Even when it comes to improving your snowboarding skills, a private course can be tailored to your needs. Because even if the mistakes are similar for different people, the best way to solve them differs from person to person.
  
  Our aim is for all course participants to be able to ride independently as quickly as possible and to have a good foundation. We also like to be at your side over the longer term to celebrate your long-term progress with you.

• How long does it take before you can snowboard?

  On average, it takes one day to learn your first turns in private lessons. Depending on the age, group size and speed at which you learn, you can even make your first turns on blue slopes after just one day. For children under the age of 8, teenagers and adults, this is of course an ambitious goal, but one that can undoubtedly be achieved.
  
  It is often worth investing up to 3 days in courses to learn to ride snowboard on more difficult slopes and gain confidence.
  
  The important thing is not to put yourself under pressure and to take your time. We are very patient and don't just stubbornly go through our program. If something doesn't work out, we respond to you as an individual. After one day, you'll definitely know whether you enjoy snowboarding 😉

• Are the courses also suitable for advanced riders?

  But for sure! We are happy to support you if you want to improve your riding technique. Thanks to the private instructor, we can focus directly on you. Even if you've only been sliding so far and want to start carving, you've come to the right place. 

• Where do the snowboard courses take place?

  Currently the beginner courses take place mainly in Switzerland in the Flumserberg ski area at the Tannenboden practice area. For advanced skiers, we are out and about throughout the resort and can also start at Prodalp by prior arrangement. The meeting point will be communicated to you personally by your snowboard instructor before the start of the lesson.

• What happens after I have made my booking?

  After your booking, you will be contacted by your snowboard instructor via WhatsApp one day before the course to clarify what your level is and what you would like to learn. The exact meeting point will then be agreed with you.
