• All equipment included - just bring your enthusiasm!

Let's be honest: nobody wants to hit the slopes for the first time looking like a complete novice, even if they are one. So get some practice in before going on holiday with a snowboarding lesson at SnowDome, the UK's top indoor real snow center. You'll start off with a safety briefing and an introduction to all the equipment (which is all included). Then you'll try out some basic moves and find out whether you're a 'regular foot' or 'goofy foot' - that is, whether your leading leg is your left or your right. You'll get to grips with the right stance for balance, and then move on to gaining control of the toe edge and heel edge of the board and going down the slope zigzagging from left to right and back again - the 'falling leaf' maneuver. Your qualified instructor will be on hand throughout, to give you loads of help and to pick you up when you topple over.
