Established in 2013, 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 but never more than a max 6 per group.
NEW for winter 2022/23:
Due to the difficulties of parking at Prodians at the weekend, we are offering a drop off solution at the bottom of the télécabine. The meeting point will remain at the top of the Prodains Express, however we will send down one instructor to meet those kids whose parents wish to drop them at the bottom of the Prodains at the beginning of the lesson. Collection remains at the top of Prodains at the end of the lesson.

If your kid is a seasoned shredder who loves jumping off absolutely everything… then this group is for them! This group is for more experienced kids who already have the skills to ride the mountain but are amped to get out and push their snowboarding further. When it snows the group will shred powder, when it’s sunny they will ride the park, seek out side-hits or just ride the mountain.
This group will be scheduled according to availability of those who sign up, on a Wednesday, Saturday or Sunday. Please sign up to show your kids interest and availability.
Not sure what level your child is? Got any questions? Just email us and we will assess and fit them into the correct group!
*We are also offering a drop off solution at the bottom of the télécabine at the beginning of the lesson. Collection at the end of the lesson will be top of Prodains.
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!
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.

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.
