Trial lesson

During this first lesson, the basics will be taught in a group setting in 55 minutes. This starts with an explanation of skiing, followed by a few exercises on flat ground. Once the skiing posture has been explained, the instructor will take the group up part of our practice slope. After this, you will practice sliding down in the correct skiing posture, followed by a few exercises. Next, it's time to practice braking safely. This is done in the snowplow position, also known as the pizza slice in children's terms.

Once the group has mastered this, it is time to slide down from the top of the practice slope in a controlled manner in this snowplow position. Once this has been achieved, a brief introduction will be given on how to make a single turn.

These trial lessons will start with an explanation of the equipment followed by habituation exercises on one of our trial slopes. Because you can sometimes fall annoyingly, attention is also paid to how to fall safely. After this, it's time to board down the slopes for the first time. This will happen with one foot fixed to begin with. After this the real snowboarding can begin and both feet will be fixed to the board. To make sure you feel comfortable on the board a few balance exercises will be practiced. During the last 10-15 minutes attention is paid to taking curves on the slopes. When, after this hour, you feel that snowboarding is totally your sport you can opt for a few possibilities. You can take part in weekend courses or one of 4 weekly courses. During these courses you will pick up where you left to master the true basics of snowboarding. It's best to sign up for the beginners course.
