Request my snowboard lessonWhat you'll get from your snowboard lessonsFrom falling every run to not thinking about falling.
Balance stops being the problem
The first days on a board are the most frustrating. We help you skip that part and get to actually riding sooner.
A style that's yours
There's no single correct way to ride. We work on your technique so you find your own.
Riding with judgement
You'll learn to read the slope, pick a line and adapt to the snow, not just repeat movements.
Snowboard lesson levelsYour starting point, your pace.
Beginner
Learn to slide, turn and stop with confidence from your very first day on a board.
Intermediate and freestyle
Carving, control and your first steps into the park once the basics are solid.
What our snowboard lessons are likeAlways private. Alone or with your group.
Always private
The instructor is for you, or for the people you bring. We never fill a lesson with strangers to make up numbers.
On your own or with your group
Come alone, as a couple or with your friends or family. We recommend a maximum of 8 per lesson: above that, the instructor's attention is spread too thin.

Snowboard lesson pricesLessons from €110.
The price is for the whole lesson, not per person: if there are several of you, you share it. Pick your options and we will tell you what yours costs.
How many of you?
The price covers the lesson with the instructor only: it does not include the lift pass or equipment hire, and we sort both out separately. Each extra person always adds the same. If there are more than 10 of you, message us and we will organise it with you.

Frequently asked questions
Is snowboarding harder to learn than skiing?+
The first few days are usually more frustrating on a board, because balance takes longer to click. In exchange, once you're past that stage, progress tends to feel faster.
How many of us can be in one lesson?+
As many as you bring: the lesson is private and you make up the group. We recommend a maximum of 8, though we can take more if you ask; the larger the group, the less personalised the lesson.
Can I take snowboard lessons if I already ski?+
Yes, and it's common. Skiing helps you read the slope and get around the resort, although board technique is learned from scratch.
What equipment do I need?+
A board, boots, bindings and a helmet. If you don't have your own gear, we can help you rent it before the lesson.
Where does the lesson start?+
At the meeting point in Borreguiles, Sierra Nevada. We confirm the exact spot when you book.
Does the price include the lift pass and equipment rental?+
No. The price covers the lesson with your instructor only. The lift pass and equipment rental are separate, and we can arrange both for you if you need them.
The kit for your snowboard lesson
With both feet strapped to the board you fall differently, and that changes what you need. These guides go into the detail of each piece.
How to choose your snowboard boots
The heel test is what decides, not the toe test. Why they should feel tight in the shop, what overhang is, and how to lace them in two zones.
How to choose your snowboard
Your weight sets the size, not your height. Width, profile, flex and shape explained, and why it's worth renting before you buy your first board.
Ski and snowboard protection: which pieces you actually need
Helmet, wrist guards, impact shorts and back protector: which ones you actually need for your sport and level, and which certification each carries.
How to choose ski and snowboard gloves
Gloves or mittens, waterproofing, insulation and getting the size right. A clear guide to choosing well and not freezing on the mountain.
Ski and snowboard trousers, bibs or one-pieces: how to choose
Trousers, bibs or a one-piece, and the details at the hem — gaiter, boot hook and edge guard — that separate snow trousers from ordinary ones.
How to choose a ski or snowboard helmet
Getting the size right, what MIPS actually does, and which standards a certified helmet has to meet. A clear guide before you buy.
