Hey Julia,

I wanna begin snowboarding as well. I was skiing before but wanna drop that off. If you are alright with taking off with a total beginner I'm in.

Cheers,

A.

hey-

i like to snowboard a lot, been doing it for years.  Just moved to zurich so looking for new people to hang with and also board with.  I also have a car and wan tto get going more on the weekends out to the slopes.  Where you thinking of going?

Maybe in December there will be not enough snow ?

Anil, I am a total beginner as well, so the main goal is to practise on the green/blue slopes. I am taking the week of Dec 17-21 off so planning to go every day. James, I am about to start in the neighbouring France, there are a lot of debutant slopes there :)

Olga let's hope so :))

Hello,

I'd like to learn snowboard as well. I spent the last two years learning ski but I want to move on snow board. If is there someone for a week-end (an entire week is not possible for me for the time being) let me know. BTW, do you know some place where is possible to lear not too far from Basel ?

Hello all,

Im new to skiing and snowboarding ( and Switzerland) this sounds like a great idea Yulia, unfortunately a week is not possible but I'm very interested in any other beginner snowboarding ventures....:-)

Hey Guys,

Okay it seems like we are at least 5 beginners here. So it may be a good idea to take group classes. It d come down to much cheaper and I'm sure we'll have fun :) But more than 3-4 people per instructor could be a bit frustrating.

I dont intend to advertise anything but I ve found these guys online and they seem pretty solid : http://www.altitude-verbier.com/lessons/group-lessons/

We were talking with Yulia to meet up together. Maybe it would be better if we meet up altogether tomorrow or something and discuss our options? What do  you guys say?

Cheers,

A

Group lessons sounds like a great idea, count me in! Lets meet!

Please let me know if there is anyone from Zurich interested in organizing sky/snowboard week ends! The Snow Season is approaching better to be prepared!

Hi guys, it’s snowing in Chamonix as I’m writing this with a massive dump of snow forecasted this week the season will kick off to a great start with the opening of Grand Montets on the 8th December. I run a beautiful chalet in Chamonix (45min from Geneva) and am offering “Cheeky Mountain Break” specials. After seeing this thread I have included Snow Board/Ski Instructors to the Bed and breakfast package.

3 Night “Cheeky long Weekend”: Thursday, Friday, Saturday and late checkout Sunday. €297 for a twin/double room. This gives you 3 full days riding the mountain! Plus Bed and breakfast in our 3 star Chalet and 3 hours Private Ski or Snow board Instruction.

4 Night “Cheeky Midweek Break”: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and a late checkout on Thursday. € 314 for a twin/double room. 4 hours Private Ski or Snow board Instruction.

We have a practice piste here at the chalet to learn the basics before heading up the mountain. If there is 2 or more in a beginner group the overall prices can be reduced. Please feel free to contact me here or by e mail. Aaron.a.d.cooke@gmail and visit our site www.allmountainchamonix.com

Cheers

Aaron
