Snowboard

The snowboard is a wonderful toy, which tests knees, backside and wrists initially but can be mastered quickly.

Ski boot manufacturers have a long way to go before they achieve the comfort of snowboard boots.

Progress to off-piste is rapid on a snowboard because the board glides easily through most snow types, with the exception of ice, which requires a little more experience. This leads to a serious dilemma that a snowboarder is technically capable of going off-piste after only a week of boarding, but has insufficient knowledge of the mountains to evaluate the risks involved.

Going off-piste with a professional guide is paramount to improve technique and teach this indispensible knowledge of the mountains.
