10 days course

Course overview:

Day 1: Bunny slopes. Our driver will meet you at the hotel at 9:45 where he will bring you to our Global Ski Shop and provide you with your snowboard boots and snowboard. The driver will drop you at Bunny Ski slopes. You will have 1 and a half hours of ski theory classes and your practicals will begin at 12:00 pm. Our instructor will teach you to balance and control preferably on a flat surface. The instructor will teach you to move around by pushing yourself with your back foot that remains free between the bindings and the front foot in the bindings (called gliding).The class will end at 4:00 pm and the driver will drop you back to your hotel.

Note: Ski lifts are not available for snowboarders on bunny slopes. The boards have to be carried to the top by self or a porter can be hired for the same. This makes up for good cardio for the day as well. 

Day 2: Classes will begin at 9:45 am. At this point, once you learn to glide on flat terrain, the next step would be to learn your turns. Your instructor will teach you heel and toe turns simultaneously checking your balance and control. Every day your class will end at 4:00 pm and the driver will drop you back to your hotel.

Day 3: The instructor will focus on your specific needs for speed, turns, and control.

Day 4: Intermediate slopes. You will be shifted to intermediate slopes which are steeper and longer. The instructor will focus on your body positioning, toe and heel turns on a steeper gradient.

Day 5: First Phase Gondola. After mustering up enough confidence and skill, on day 5, you will snowboard from First Phase Gondola. The track is 4 km long and much steeper than the bunny and intermediate slopes. The instructor will focus on your speed, body positioning, and control on steeper slopes.

Day 6: Same as day 5

Day 7: Same as day 5

Day 8: Same as day 5

Day 9: Same as day 5 (the days may vary as to when you can do your first run from the first phase gondola. However, give more time here since the slopes are steeper and more difficult to descend)

Day 10: Chair-lift. On day 10, the final day, you will be taught to traverse the slopes. Traversing slopes means to balance and hold an edge to travel across a slope. This is because the chairlift requires you to traverse the slopes for a comparatively less steep terrain for your first descent. Here, you will ski from chair-lift which is 3400 meters above sea level. The slopes are angled 25-30 degrees, commonly known as blue runs. These are off-piste slopes which means the slopes are not beaten and groomed.
