A fun and fantastically affordable snowboard camp which is a great way to end your winter season on the snow. You will focus on specific techniques to develop your full range of freestyle riding including airs, grabs, rotations, jibbing and buttering, rails, boxes and halfpipe riding. If you have something specific you want to work on then our instructors will focus on these areas so you can progress in the areas you want to develop.
This is a fun, end of season snowboard camp that is specifically developed for intermediate to advanced level snowboarders who want to develop their freestyle riding. If you have no previous freestyle experience or are struggling to make progress on specific tricks, we will work with you throughout the week to progress freestyle snowboarding.
Travelling alone? Not a problem! This freestyle snowboard camp is totally designed with solo-travellers in mind. It is a great way to progress your snowboarding, learning in a small group with others of the same level… and you will end the week with a bunch of new snowboard friends!
Fitness Level 2/5: An average level of fitness required to enjoy this course to its fullest
Below is a description of the skill levels suited:
Level 3. Lower Intermediate
You are happy linking turns on most runs, although sometimes coming into difficulty on steeps or challenging snow conditions. You wish to ride the whole mountain and find new challenges. We’ll give you the techniques to make your riding more dynamic, start carving your board, learn a few tricks and even take you off piste.
Level 4. High Intermediate
You are an experienced snowboarder, competent riding the whole mountain, in almost all snow conditions and terrain types. Even if you’re content with what you’re riding, a session with an top level instructor can help you enjoy it even more … and chances are you’ll find out there’s still plenty left in the tank. It’s time to increase your performance, dominate the mountain, master new tricks and venture further off piste.
Level 5. Advanced
You are a seasoned snowboarder who has an extensive experience off piste and / or in the snowpark. You can ride any terrain and make it look good. Join a program for riding steep & deep terrain, or finding how 3 feet out of a pipe can be 10 with a bit of coaching.
Freestyle coaching takes place up on the slopes of Avoriaz, which at 1800m retains fantastic snow conditions in the spring as well as offering several great snowparks to ride. Each day a MINT Snowboarding instructor will take clients through a different 3 hour morning master class which will focus on the following:
Day 1: Airs & Grabs
Day 2: Jibbing & Buttery Stuff
Day 3: Spin Class
Day 4: Rails & Boxes
Day 5: Halfpipe & Handplants
Afternoons will be free to practice techniques, explore the epic parks, pistes and tree lined runs of the Avoriaz ski area and soak up the spring sunshine in one of the chilled out cafes or lively après ski bars.

A big shout out for the Freestyle Skills Week – we all had an incredible time, it was a truly fantastic week and the whole group just doesn’t seem to stop raving about it!
My week of snowboarding with MINT was the best 1-week-activity camp I’ve ever been to (and the standards are high, as I’ve been to many surf camps and some other winter sports camps too). The whole package (place, accommodation, instructors, food, other participants) was perfect. In one word: perfect vibe!
I did the freestyle course in Jan 2017 and had a blast. This course taught me so much and as a group we progressed day by day. Gerard was an excellent instructor and I’d recommend to anyone who is looking to perform tricks in and out of the park. Thank guys, amazing week!
Having used MINT before for my family and everyone raving about them I decided to try for myself with the Freestyle Camp. I was a little anxious having never gone on my own before but I’m so glad I did.
I had two wishes, land a 360 off a blue kicker and go off a red kicker and managed both by the end of the week thanks to Gerard’s amazing tuition. Great instructor and all round nice guy.
I also met a bunch of great people it was an absolute pleasure to shred with for the week. I will be booking with MINT again in the future for sure.
Tammy is an incredibly passionate snowboard instructor! Combine this with her technical knowledge and years of experience and there is no doubt you will come away having noticeably progressed your snowboarding and had a flippin a rad day!! This ethos runs throughout MINT Snowboarding.
Signed up as a solo traveler for one of the snowboard camps running in December. Was such a good experience. All the instructors were very skilled and very patient, adapting for every member of the group. Great value and a great way to progress quickly over the week.

So happy with this weeks lessons. My son had a 2 hour group session every morning 9-11 Monday to Friday. He confidently accompanied his very proud daddy on Friday! Money well spent Thank you MINT! And his instructors Giulia and Anna x

3 of us had a freestyle lesson, none of us could fault the service we received. From booking, running up to the lesson and during it was faultless. We will be returning next season, also be requesting Jorge. Thanks again.
