Ski tuition for children

The first step will be to learn the snowplough. This is the fundamental position to control speed and to start turning. With the snowplough, we can build the child's confidence, develop the sense of balance and allow them to discover the effect of moving forwards, backwards and sideways.

Confidence on adapted fields and the progressive increase of speed will help them to ski more and more towards parallel.

Adding slalom will come later to help the child to read the condition of the piste and to maintain direction.

We will be as diverse as possible in terms of piste choice and snow quality, to allow a greater adaptation to conditions.

The "play" element is the main activity for children and they will learn rapidly whilst having fun.

 

Snowboard for Children

Snowboard tuition can start from 4-5 years old.

Having fun and learning through play and games will form the basis of the snowboard tuition.

The lessons will begin by building up balance on the flat then progress to sliding, "Backside", "Frontside", followed by links between turns, free style ( 180° flat, 360° flat, switch) carving and jumps.

We could spend time in the 3 Vallées Snow park and on the "Jump'air"...

Off piste is an important element for progression and one of the ultimate goals will be to ride virgin powder fields ...
