Snowboarding FAQs

Which ski resorts are best for snowboarding in Europe or North America?

Europe and North America both offer incredible snowboarding experiences.

  • In Europe, top picks include Les Deux Alpes, Tignes, and Avoriaz in France, all known for their terrain parks and boarder-friendly layouts. Austria’s Mayrhofen and Ischgl also stand out for their vast snowparks and après-ski scene. In Italy, Livigno and Cervinia offer great conditions and wide-open runs ideal for snowboarders of all levels.
  • Over in North America, Whistler and Park City lead the way with huge snowboarding areas, excellent freeride terrain, and top-tier snowparks. Jackson Hole is a favourite for more advanced riders chasing steeps and powder.

Do I need to enroll in snowboarding lessons?

If you have experience with other board sports like skateboarding or surfing, you might find snowboarding comes more naturally, as some of the movements will be familiar. However, since snowboarding can initially be a bit more challenging to pick up compared to skiing, it’s highly recommended to book lessons with a qualified instructor. Your instructor will guide you through the proper techniques from the basics, like securing bindings, falling safely, skating, and turning, to more advanced skills such as park skills and freeriding. After mastering the basics, you may find that progressing in snowboarding can be quicker than in skiing

What equipment do I need?

For snowboarding, the essential equipment you will require includes a snowboard, boots, and a helmet. Most customers prefer to secure their equipment hire while booking their holiday, as it conveniently consolidates the process, allowing for easy pick-up at the resort’s hire shop upon arrival.

What do I need to wear?

For snowboarding, it’s imperative to have warm, waterproof attire. Start with a snowboard jacket and trousers, which generally have a looser fit compared to ski clothing, although the latter can be a suitable alternative. Next, equip yourself with a neck warmer to prevent the cold from penetrating between your helmet and tops, snowboard gloves and socks, and goggles for eye protection. Wrist and knee guards are also advisable to safeguard against falls.

How do snowboarding schools work?

There are primarily two kinds of snowboarding lessons available: group lessons and private lessons. Opting for group learning is not only cost-effective but also a wonderful opportunity to forge friendships with others who are at a similar level in snowboarding. On the other hand, private lessons offer a more personalized approach, enabling rapid progress with the undivided attention of an instructor who can customize the session to meet your individual needs.
