  • About

    Get some practice in before going on holiday with a snowboarding lesson at SnowDome, the UK's top indoor real snow centre. You'll start off with a safety briefing and an introduction to all the equipment (which is all included). Then you'll try out some basic moves and find out whether you're a 'regular foot' or 'goofy foot' - that is, whether your leading leg is your left or your right. You'll get to grips with the right stance for balance, and then move on to gaining control of the toe edge and heel edge of the board and going down the slope zigzagging from left to right and back again - the 'falling leaf' manoeuvre. Your qualified instructor will be on hand throughout, to give you loads of help and to pick you up when you topple over.

    • Learn the snowboarding basics from expert instructors
    • Take a two hour lesson at the UK's top indoor real snow centre
    • All equipment included - just bring your enthusiasm!

    A great beginners course into snowboarding with very attentive instructors. I am now going to continue the next two steps which is all you require to become recreational standard.

    My Fiance and I both did the 2 hour snowboarding introduction. The level of teaching was perfect for the two of us, neither having ever tried anything like this before. The instructor, Andy, was patient and really explained things well, making for an excellent day out. I'd strongly recommend this experience to everyone.

    Awesome!

    The group of people training the group was excellent, they really helped me get the basics and had a lot of patience to get me off my bum and into zig zagging down the slopes. They got me through the basics and I will be back very soon to continue to have lessons. One of the trainers on the day even found me some gloves which was very helpful and definitely went that extra mile.

    Awesome, Fun, Brilliant Day

    A fantastic introduction into the fun and exhilarating sport of snowboarding. The Snow Dome is a fantastic venue to try out this amazing sport. Forget nerves, it's an experience that you will never forget. The tuition is top rate, the Dome has everything you want for that first try or for those more advanced boarders. I recommend it to all.

    Brilliant Day Out, Couldn't Have Been Better
