Course content for learning to snowboard for beginners & novices
To make it as easy as possible for you to get started, we provide you with all the modules in chronological order to make learning to snowboard easier. It may be worth booking a snowboard course at the beginning. A private snowboard instructor is best, as they can intervene incredibly quickly to prevent typical mistakes at an early stage. If you are more independent, a group course can also be a good alternative. So enough talk, let's get going 😉🏂
