It's a bit sh1t. My mrs did some lessons last month in braehead and for 9 we left at 7 and only just made it.
Camperdown is a horrible hike but it's nice a shallow so even when the point it they don't get too fast

all these liabilities and rules and regulations ffs is this why we got into snowboardin? does my head in, If someday falls over and dies or whatever then it's the riders fault for strapping onto a piece of wood, If a beginner collides into somebody else, This could happen with or without an instructor.
I do not think lessons indoor are worth it at all, Beginner lesson on special offer maybe but apart from that i'd wait til winter and go to the highlands for a weekend and learn in an outdoor environment, So glad i learned at cairngorm, It was cold, almost whiteout and windy as hell but i couldn't have had a better incentive to learn quick and adapt to the mountains.

Different when there's a phone call home and its a loved one that is a cabbage because braehead let a bunch of wee neds jump on snowboards and the clattered into you kid. Same at Cairngorm, beginners are pretty easy to spot on the top poma and down the lanes next to the dink dink poma.
At least with an instructor they are visable as learners, and wont be let to just fly down a slope hitting anyone they fancy
