Testimonials

Having Francois as off piste instructor was simply great. He knew where to go and taught us a huge amount of details about the snow, the mountain and about Portes du Soleil. Even he fixed our position on the boards. Magic places in powder between trees, places for jumping, max rotation....simply great. We'd definitively do it again.

I did a set of group lessons. We had three in our group and Valerio was our instructor. We had a great time basically. I went home feeling like I'd made 2 new friends and knew an amazing instructor to ask for next year. Valerio was great- he was careful not to push us too much and set us something to practice each day (and discouraged us from enthusiastically launching ourselves down a blue when we couldn't turn yet- something I did last time and deeply regretted). He was also really fun and tried to help us relax by making us wave our arms around and dance when we'd clearly lost a bit of confidence. We had a lot of falls and a lot of laughs. He joined us for tea and a chat in the cafe after 2 of the lessons, which we were really pleased about; it made us all feel like a real team. MINT had matched my group really well- everyone had done a little bit of boarding before and nobody held anyone back, but even when one of us was a bit slow Valerio handled it really well (we all had a turn being that person!). I liked the format of lessons in the morning and then going off and practicing. I practiced with my classmates because I came with a bunch of skiing friends.

Quick note to say how good the Lofoten, Norway, trip was. Really well organised, great lodge and thankfully we were very lucky with incredible snow. I was in the deep end learning splitboarding and will be forever grateful to both Dave and David for their guidance, patience and encouragement. The rest of the group was great fun too, so all in all a brilliant experience and I'll definitely recommend MINT! Thanks so much and hopefully see you for the technical course next winter.

MINT Snowboarding is my favorite company. I’ve done a few off pistes/backcountry trips with them (Avoriaz, Grand massif, Zinal, Engelberg, Hokkaido (!!!) )… They always deliver a fantastic experience. Great adventures & always felt safe. Thank you Dave, Thank you Tammy. ???? Next stop could be Norway :) ???? Viêt

My hubby and I had a wonderful first splitboarding adventure with MINT. Amazing guide, super flexible around our schedule, great briefing and intro to this new (for us) style of trekking + riding. SO. MUCH. FUN. Can't recommend enough!! ???? Caitlin
