Fitness Level 2/5: An average level of fitness required to enjoy this course to it's 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.
Day 1: Freestyle techniques including stance, speed, pop & landing and using these to ollie, air, shifty & grab.
Day 2: You will learn the fundamentals of buttering and build up to some tricks on the slopes. Take these new skills to the Burton Stash in Avoriaz, where you will learn to style them out.
Day 3: How to spin; from small hits on the side of the piste to bigger kickers in the snowparks.
Day 4: Jib day on rails & boxes – learning the techniques to master different jib tricks from basic skills through to linked tricks.

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!
I’ve been snowboarding a couple of years but after a fall I’d lost confidence on a board, after a 2 hour lesson with Tammy I got that confidence back and found my love for snowboarding again; she’s an absolute legend an amazing instructor I have been singing Tammy’s praises to everyone……I will be back in Morzine next season and I will be booking Tammy for private lessons again 5* instructor and absolute legend!!! Thank you so much!!!
I can’t recommend the Technical Performance Course highly enough. I have been riding for 15 years and the skills I learned during this week have moved me on further than I could have hoped.
From the initial booking, Tammy and her team were great and helped with everything. On the course Toni our instructor was patient and encouraging and helped whenever it was needed which made the trip fun and exciting.
The other people on the course were great and we all got along really well which made for a great trip, I would highly recommend to anyone whatever your ability!
Me and a couple of mates had a private lesson with Toni. We can all board but wanted to progress. I have had experience of a number of instructors in France and Switzerland but Toni was by a mile the best. Why? He was fun, but firm and kept us safe. He gave us all time and rather than ‘focus’ on our weaknesses, looked at the positives and helped us to build on those. We’ve given up on being professional (!) and our goal is not to be technically brilliant but to have a bit of fun and ‘try’ new things. Toni tuned into that straight away and from start to finish, we all got something valuable and memorable. In just 5 hours, we ‘mastered’ the ‘dark arts’ of switch, freestyle, the parks (safely!) – we cracked ‘the green’ and were lucky enough to get a real good go at some powder off piste. We loved it and would highly recommend MINT and especially Toni.
