WINTER TUNE UP

WHAT IS A WINTER TUNE UP

A 3 hour focused coaching session designed to get you riding well again after time off the board.

In a 3 hour session, we refresh the fundamentals that make the biggest difference (stance, balance, edge control, pressure, and turn shape), so your riding feels smoother, more controlled, and more predictable.

You’ll leave with a few clear focus points and simple cues you can take straight onto the mountain so day one of your trip feels like you’ve already warmed up, rather than spending half the holiday finding your feet.

COACHED BY A BASI LEVEL 3 ISIA INSTRUCTOR

Chris is a BASI Level 3 ISIA qualified instructor. You’ll get clear feedback, simple progressions, and why each drill matters so you leave knowing what to change and how to practise it.

WHY THIS IS FOR YOU

Winter Tune Up is for anyone who can already snowboard, or those who have had some time off their board. It's also ideal if you’ve got a winter holiday coming up and you want to make the most of it from day one.

You’ll leave with:

  • A clear idea of what to work on (and what to do next)

  • Personal cues and drills you can repeat on your own

  • Video feedback (where possible)

HOW DOES A WINTER TUNE UP WORK?

Simple, structured, and focused on the biggest wins first.

  • Quick meet & greet: what each rider wants to improve

  • Shared focus chosen on the day: your coach picks the theme that best fits the group

  • Coaching + feedback loops: you get individual cues and drills within the shared theme

  • Mid-session debrief: quick reset and clear next steps

  • Finish with consistency: apply it again and leave knowing what to practise next
