What we want to do is raise the level of snowboarding to new heights bringing YOU over the plateau that you might have felt you’re on and really take your riding to the next level. When snowboarding is being performed well and it looks effortless, that’s because it is! By looking very closely at the way our clients ride and making small but very effective changes to technique such as the way a rider stands on a board, set’s up for a spin, or how they charge through pow, we make them better riders.

We use a variety of different coaching techniques such as video feedback which is very effective at showing you the rider where changes need to be made, especially when its played back in slow motion so there is no cheating! We also look quite deeply in to the psychology of the rider and look into ways of changing the way you normally approach a task on a snowboard, which has had dramatic effects for those who have signed up to one of our previous sessions. We are very knowledgeable in bio-mechanics, the science of the board and physics of the mountain, and we have developed a unique and simple way of communicating this to our clients.
