I know Elderon may have already pointed a few of you at Mint Snowboarding if you've enquired about lessons.
Mint are an all British outfit and well regarded in the area.
Mint have been in touch directly and may be able to put together some specific 2 hour coaching sessions for us whilst we're there. This would be in additional to the free guiding we already have planned, but would be an additional cost. As yet, I don't know what that would be although I realise this might be the deciding factor for many!
What sort of coaching would people be interested in?
Technique - intermediate / advanced
Freestyle - park
Freestyle - pipe
Let me have your thoughts as this thread will guide what we try to put together.

I'd be interested in:
Technique - intermediate / advanced followed by a rookie freestyle session! So if there were any chance of scheduling things so they don't clash and can logically follow one and other, that would be perfect!

PS: Charlie... lol ;)
Thanks for the thread and the replies! Sounds like there should easily be enough people to get something going. I have also noted that cost is an issue... so will put a programme together and try to keep the cost down. I will get back to you all with further details...
Cheers, Tammy
Ahh someone got it!
I could do with have a few lessons in snow spraying! I keep taking my target out with the board
That's taking the slash a bit too far... My tips are:
- Rather than do it directly in front of someone and risk ploughing into them do it as you go past.
- Backside slashes make the biggest spray
First in the queue Dale? ;)
Mint Snowboarding will be offering group coaching to SCUK members as follows:
42€ per person for a two hour session (min 4 & max 6 in a group)
75€ per person for 2 x two hour sessions (seeing as several of you wish to do more than one).
Sessions we will offer are:
Intermediate / Advanced Techniques to improve your riding all over the mountain
Intro to Freestyle
Intro to the Halfpipe
We are happy to run sessions of different level / focus, so let us know of any suggestions!
All sessions will be run in small groups, with a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 6 in a group, to ensure you get the most out of the coaching. We will also do our best to get groups of similar level.
For those of you who dont know us at Mint Snowboarding, we are a small team of British instructors all qualified to the highest level specifically in snowboarding. So we are the ones who can improve your riding and help you reach your goals, whatever your level. For more info check out mintsnowboarding.com.

Very likely, not ridden since may, although once I get going I've got the backside slash down and with my size its like a snow tsunami for the unnlucky punter stopped in the middle of the run

My mrs is not a complete begginner but she could so with some improver lessons that are not as advanced as what Mint are offering, if we could find all the guys that want basic training maybe we could wangle a deal like mint are offering with another company or maybe mint themselves could help us out.
I'll start a thread in the bash forum and see if there are enough people to make it worthwhile.
Anyone know yet when those guiding sessions are likely to be?
