Established in 2014, the MINT Kids Snowboard Club‘s aim is to give kids living locally to Morzine the opportunity to learn and progress their snowboarding at an affordable price. Our team of instructors are passionate beyond measure about getting the local kids shredding, providing a fun and engaging environment for your kids to develop and ride with their friends. It’s generally hard to tell who is having more fun, the instructors or the kids as the air is literally buzzing with excitement at every session!
Ages: The club is open to kids of 3 yrs and up (with occasional sessions for 2 year olds).
Levels: Groups are run for all levels, from total beginners to our freestyle rippers who want to learn tricks as well as charge around the mountain. We take great care to place your child in a group course to suit their ability and confidence level. Don’t worry if you are not sure on your child’s level, we will assess this.
Group Sizes: Group sizes depend on the age and level of the kids in each group. We want to ensure that the kids have sufficient instructor support to allow for maximum fun.
– For kids aged 4 yrs and younger, as well as for young beginners, our groups are 2 or 3 kids per instructor, ensuring the kids get the extra helping hand they need to get them shredding.
– For kids aged 5 yrs and up, group size is dependent on level of the group.
Program: Starts 10th January 2021. If the lifts do not open on 7th January then we will adjust schedule & prorata prices as necessary.
Sign up: Sign your kids up now with the form below. No need to pay until we have confirmation of lift openings.
Covid-19: We will pro-rata refund for any lessons that are not able to run due to Covid-19.
If the times / days don’t quite work for you then please let us know, we have the flexibility to add extra groups at different times. If you have a group of friends who wish to do Kids Club lessons in a different PDS ski area then we can organise this too – we just want to get your kids snowboarding!
The weekly snowboard club will start on the weekend of 16th / 17th January 2021, running for two blocks of 5 weeks. Kids can join on either a Saturday or a Sunday.

Any sessions affected by lift closures will be pro-rata refunded.

MINT Snowboarding has made it a very easy decision for us to book again next year. Both of our children (8 & 6) enjoyed themselves hugely within group and 1:1 lessons. MINT Snowboarding took great care to ensure the group was balanced with similar ability levels and with a max of 6 children. The instructors were friendly, fun and nurturing which really inspired our children and helped cement snowboarding on their “again, again!” list. Thank you!
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.
Thank you! I had an amazing time! Valerio was incredible…
I was quite scared to even start, but he was very calm and patient. He was encouraging and always there.
Really, you have amazing instructors… Be proud of him!
My instructor, François, was excellent from start to finish. With around 22 years of Snowboarding experience, 14 of which coaching, he really understood the mechanics of snow boarding and was able to communicate them.
He kept it fun and was very up beat. But most important of all he cared about our group getting better and did everything he could to ensure we did.
