Laax • Sunday, 18 January 2026

Improve your basics on the snowboard, while meeting other snowboarders.

Location: Laax, Graubünden
Sport: Snowboarding & Skiing
Date: Sunday, 18 February 2026
Duration: 4 Hours
Level: Basics

We'll work on the things that make snowboarding easier, more fun, and by getting them down will take you to the next level faster.

For snowboarding, this is a 'more feedback' style of group, where things will go slower so that you can systematically repeat the basics. To make the most of it, please enjoy the group dynamic where we stay close together, and choose certain adaptations so that the more advanced participants can try something to make it more difficult.

Prerequisites

  • At a minimum, you should at least be comfortable with 'breaking' turns (i.e. turning then slowing down, then the next turn and slowing down again, and so on).
