Is it hard to learn to snowboard?
When it comes to learning how to snowboard, everyone is different. Some people will be natural snowboarders and pick it up immediately. For others, it may take several beginner ski lessons before they get to grips with the core strength needed to stop you bailing.
Luckily, our qualified instructors make every snowboarding lesson fun and exciting and will help you to build speed, confidence and technique. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a beginner or simply a little rusty after a few years away from the slopes, our snowboarding lessons, which take place on real snow, helping you get ready for outdoor terrains, will make learning to snowboard as easy as possible!
Snowboarding vs skiing
Still on the fence about which snowsport you should start learning? Both skiing and snowboarding are fantastic snowsports that will build strength and satisfy your need for speed. But how hard is snowboarding compared to skiing? Is one easier to learn than the other?
It is commonly understood that skiing is quicker to pick up than snowboarding, but snowboarding is easier to master. This suggests that although it may take you longer to get your head around mastering snowboarding initially, once you do, you’ll be able to progress to an advanced level much quicker than you could with skiing.
Whichever snowsport you decide to learn, we are here to show you the ropes and get you to a point where you’re tackling the slopes with ease.
