Group lessons

Where there is demand the snowboarding groups are run mid-morning as the snow is softer therefore easier on those inevitable tumbles making it safer!

These groups require a minimum of 4 people to run and are based on a maximum of 6 per group.

We always recommend wearing helmets and body protections for boarding, particularly for beginners.

Children’s groups run only during school holidays unless there is enough demand to open a group.

Not a lot, this is my first time ever on a board.

Single valley pass is fine.
