What is snowboarding?
Developed in the United States during the 1960s, snowboarding is a thrilling winter sport where you descend a slope whilst standing on a board that’s strapped to your feet.
Despite being hugely popular during the 70s and 80s, snowboarding didn’t become a Winter Olympic sport until 1998 when Canadian Ross Rebagliati won the first-ever Olympic gold medal for snowboarding.

What equipment will you need?
Don’t worry about having to spend loads of money on purchasing new equipment. The price of your snowboarding lesson includes boots, snowboard and a helmet. We advise you to wear a waterproof jacket and trousers because those slopes can get pretty damp, but both can be hired if required.
