Technical Performance Snowboard Course

Yes as an official Morzine school, our instructors are able to use the lift lines dedicated to ski schools. This means that during your lessons with MINT you can get priority access in the lift queues when it is busy.

You are already an good intermediate / advanced level rider, but no longer progressing and not sure how to? Why take further tuition?

There are loads of reasons to carry on with lessons and coaching, but one of the most important is to keep it fun and never stop progressing. Maybe a cliché, but it’s true ‘there is always more to learn’. Whether it be: taking advantage of the construction of your snowboard in order to carve a clean track around turns rather than skidding the board, stopping the back of your board skidding out at the end of turns on more challenging terrain, learning to do frontside rail slides on the nose or tail of your board, doing backflips on the airbag and then taking it to the jumps, making controlled, fluid turns on tricky off piste terrain rather than constantly stopping and starting, linking butters to nose presses to reverts to 180s…

Having a few falls is part of learning to snowboard. Having instruction will minimise this dramatically, however we still recommend the use of helmets and wrist guards, especially for beginners, kids and those learning freestyle. Bruises and injuries seriously affect your confidence… and confidence is key to learning to snowboard!

We don’t recommend you snowboard with a backpack. Whether you are a beginner or more advanced rider wanting to progress, a backpack can put you off balance, restrict your movement and make you more tense when snowboarding. We recommend you leave your backpack at home and put any water or snacks in your pocket.

For our adult group snowboard lessons, we have a maximum of 5 people in per instructor in a group.
