Note: No chairlift for a 5-day course
5 days course
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 in 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 a 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.
