Details





Here at SCUK we want everybody riding more often, enjoying snowboarding and loving the benefits of SCUK Membership all year round. To us, that means a summer of freestyle in the UK. If you can already ride, but have "the fear" of those rails, boxes and jumps, then the second Spring Bash is just for you.

We'll have rails, jumps and boxes out on the slope all day, with bargain beginner freestyle coaching sessions for those that need it and progression sessions for those that have already given freestyle a go.

JOIN SCUK NOW FOR JUST £15!

SCUK Members can ride at Hemel for 10% off the normal price all year round, then save 55% when they join Hemel's own Membership scheme.

Freestyle Coaching



Getting in to your freestyle is what this event is all about. We have the best two companies in the business of freestyle coaching in the UK with us on this event. Fully qualified freestyle coaches will get you from an absolute freestyle beginner to somebody confident in giving freestyle a go.

Definition and Maverix will be running coaching sessions all day long. Each session is for a group size of 6 people, will be an hour long and cost just £5 for SCUK members, £10 otherwise.

You can reserve one morning session and one afternoon session by email or when you arrive on the day, but it's first-come, first-served. Payment must be in cash to the SCUK stand on site 20 minutes before the session starts else you may lose your place. We'll issue you with a ticket and answer any other questions you might have. You must also have a valid Snow Centre slope pass for your time on the slope.

Spare coaching places may be available, so come and find us before each session starts. Priority will be given to those that haven't been/booked on any sessions yet and to SCUK Members.

Reserving a Session


To reserve a session in advance... get up earlier, 'cos it's now closed. There are lots of places left for booking on the day, especially if you turn up for a 9am start!

The Sessions


Maverix will be coaching two groups of snowboarders. Definition will be coaching three groups of snowboarders or skiers, with one of the groups on the main slope for performance or flatland coaching. Maverix and Definition will each have a kicker and a slide box reserved exclusively for coaching. The two Definition ski/snowboard sessions that are open to skiers and snowboarders. There will be a coach on the session for both. All places reserved. Places available on the day.

Saturday's Park

More on Facebook
The aim is to create a beginner friendly freestyle park that should last the whole day, so snowboarders and skiers can give freestyle a go, perhaps for the first time on a session and then put what they've learnt to practice after the session. Thanks to The Snow Centre we have much more of the slope than last year, so there's freestyle available all day, even if you're not booked on a freestyle coaching session.

Here's the rough park plan for the day. There should also be another stall at the bottom of the lesson slope, but we're not sure whether that and the bibby stall will form part of the areas reserved for Maverix and Definition coaching during the day. Everything will be open for the evening jam session.



Saturday Night Jam Session


An expanded, but progressive park giving the freestyle newbie in you a chance to put new skills to the test. We'll have a heap of sponsors and lots of prizes to throw down. At a SCUK jam, we give prizes to people having a good time and we have lots of stuff to give away on the night.


Many thanks to all our sponsors for this event. We'll add them as they come in, so watch this space.






Hotel Deal


Hemel customers get a good rate at the Holiday Inn up next to the M1. The price for customers of The Snow Centre is £49 B&B per room per night, including use of the facilities. To qualify just call either Marita on 01442 206254 or Munir on 01442 206252 and quote "The Snow Centre".

There's also a Hemel Premier Inn, which is apparently even cheaper, but with no specific deal for Snow Centre users.
