Fitness Level 1/5: A basic level of fitness required to enjoy this course to it's fullest
Below is a description of the skill levels suited:
Level 1. Beginner
A total beginner or you want to start again. Taking a lesson is by far the best way to begin your snowboarding experience. We’ll give you the basic skills ensuring learning is fun and confidence is built.
Maybe you’ve done a little before, are able to slide on both edges, but are not yet turning from one to another.
Level 2. Improver
You are able to do basic turns in both directions on green and easy blue runs. Now you’re able to link turns a little encouragement & help goes a long way. It’s time to build on those basic skills and start exploring the mountain.
Benefit from 5 full days of coaching in small groups. Coaching runs for 5 days, with a day off mid-week to recuperate and enjoy your new skills.
Day 1: Learning the foundations of snowboarding. We will teach you the skills and techniques which will form the basis of your future riding style.
Day 2: Teaching you the basics of movement skills which paired with the skills and techniques learnt in Day 1 will keep you progressing with confidence.
Day 3: Implementing the skills and techniques gained over the previous 2 days to progress your riding away from the beginner areas.
Day 4: New runs/terrain/confidence, skills development on new terrain.
Day 5: Even more skills development to get you confidently achieving your snowboard goals.

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.

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.

Thank you to MINT and Anna my daughters instructor. She taught Georgia so much in two lessons equating to five hours. Anna was friendly, kind and very encouraging, we couldn’t have asked for more.
I had another awesome week of off piste snowboarding. Done many trips with MINT, I’m never disappointed! Trip well organized, Dave, our guide, is perfect. Many thanks, see you next year! 🙂
Just had the most amazing week snowboarding with MINT. Started off with a private lesson which was worth its weight in gold, then had a group lessons for 4 days. With only 4 of us in the group it felt like 1 – 1 tuition which was amazing. Thanks especially to Jorge and Tammy!
