Snozone have recently launched a new three hour intensive snowboarding course pitched between the current 16 hour weekend intensive and the five lots of one hour a week.

The course is £65 and aims, but does not guarantee, to bring the rider up to their minimum recreational standard. Much depends on the fitness and natural ability of the rider.

They say that people seem to progress much quicker on real snow than on artificial surfaces.

The course is already proving very popular. The maximum number of people per group for a 3-hour intensive is 6 and the course is open to adults (16+ years).

So this is an ideal opportunity to drag you mates and other halves to the Snozone and get them hooked. Even better - they can run the course on a Friday night, so they can learn, whilst you ride the slopes.
