The ever popular Technical Performance Snowboard Camp, now in its 14th year, is the ultimate winter improvement camp, aiding you to step up your riding to the next level. MINT Snowboarding brings you the perfect snowboard holiday combination of 5 full days of snowboard coaching and 7 days chalet accommodation.
The Technical Performance Snowboard Camp has been developed for intermediate & advanced level adult riders who have had little or no formal coaching. A full week snowboarding with a professional will make huge changes to your riding, enhancing your enjoyment of the mountain.
The aim of this course is to develop a solid riding platform over the whole mountain and progress all areas of your technical riding such as carving, steeper terrain, off piste, bumps & freestyle.
We will teach you specific techniques such as torsional flex, pedalling and more, all of which will improve the way you control your board. This will ensure maximum performance from your equipment and result in a more responsive riding style across all terrain.
Change the way you ride and enhance your enjoyment of the mountain!
Are you a lower level rider? We have a Beginners / Improvers Snowboard Camp too!
Travelling alone? Not a problem! Our snowboard camps in Europe are designed with solo-travellers in mind. They are a great way to progress your snowboarding, learning in a small group with others of the same level… and you will end the week with a bunch of new snowboard friends!

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 both consistantly and confidently, 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.
Benefit from 5 full days of coaching in small groups. Coaching runs for 5 days, with a day off mid-week to relax and recuperate or to head back out on snow and enjoy your new skills.
Day 1: Advancing riding technique. We will build on your existing skills by analyzing your riding and focusing our coaching where you need it most. Including equipment advice and optimising your current setup.
Day 2: Coaching you in the movement skills which will enable technical progression and increase your board performance. We will also film your riding (with zero pressure!) so we can analyse your riding and coach you based on your specific needs.
Day 3: Implementing the skills and techniques gained over the previous 2 days to progress your riding across a range of terrain and tasks. The aim is to enable you to use your equipment effectively and develop a fluid riding style all over the mountain.
Day 4: Off-piste riding. Taking you beyond the lifts and into ungroomed snow to further advance your riding technique on natural terrain and varying snow conditions.
Day 5: Introducing freestyle skills both in and out of the snow park, including switch riding.

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!
I booked a Technical Performance Camp with MINT last year in December and could not have been happier! The whole MINT team is amazing – the team’s enthusiasm and positivity was infectious! Couldn’t recommend MINT enough. Thank you so much!!
The week long Technical Performance Course was the best thing I’ve done. Instructor Francois was brilliant, the group was only 4 of us, so the attention you got was excellent. Francois made me totally rethink my riding and his passion for the sport is exceptional “just what you want from an instructor”. Anyone thinking of doing any of the courses with MINT should do it, they are brilliant. I know I’ll be back for the freestyle one very soon, loved it so much.
This was by far the best snowboard vacation for me. The chalet, the food, and of course the unrivaled quality of the instructors were all so good. MINT really took care of every thing and the whole day course was truly epic!! I highly recommend this camp/ vacation/ epic fun to any one who is into snowboarding!!
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 have never progressed so much so soon. And I had a great time too! Tammy and her team are fun to be around, enthusiastic and have a great system of teaching. Cant wait to come back!
