THE PIROVANO SNOWBOARDING COURSES

THE FIRST CURVES (Absolute beginners or almost)

If you are starting from scratch and have never ridden a snowboard, you need an excellent instructor who can teach you the basics of the snowboarding technique in a few hours, enthusiastically and seriously …and without falling on your behind too often!
With our instructors, it will only take you two days to learn how to do the first “skidded” curves on ski slopes that have been specially laid out for teaching.
A week’s course will almost certainly allow you to progress from a basic level to an improved level, and be ready to acquire the technique for the first progressive carved curves and to face the first jumps in the snow park.

This course is recommended for those who have never been on a snowboard or at the most have gone out two or three times with friends.

For this type of course, when you enrol, you can request all the equipment necessary: snowboard, bindings, boots and helmet … to use free of charge!

ALL AROUND (Level of General Improvement)

If you already have some experience, this level has the final aim of improving the general technique on different types of terrains, such as ski slopes, snow park and off-piste.
The first module includes the improvement of your technique and style on the slope: you quickly learn how to approach any type of difficulty properly, managing the progression with carved curves with a variable arc.
After acquiring the familiarity necessary to ride the board on any type of slope, the course continues with the first steps in the snow park: our instructors can give the right advice on how to approach the different jumps and structures in a modern snow park.
The conditions of the glacier permitting, the next step is learning how to free ride, in safety, off the groomed slopes.

This course is recommended for all those who already know how to ride a snowboard, but want to improve their technique and style on all types of terrain and snow.

FREESTYLE (Approaching the snow park)

For those who are not interested in ski slopes and see snowboarding as the essence of pure freestyle, this course offers lessons exclusively in the snow park.
How to tackle a funbox or a traditional jump; how to come out of a spine correctly; where to take off to land properly on a box; how to approach a rail correctly, etc. will be the main topics taught on this course.
Our instructors can teach everyone: from those who have never jumped in a snow park to those who want to try the largest kick or the most difficult box.

This course is exclusively for those with some familiarity with a snowboard and who want to improve their freestyle technique in a snow park.
