Teaching and different classes (snowboard) in the French ski-school of La Norma *

What I already know

What can i learn ?

Beginner’s class

I’ve never snowboarded, or, I can balance while sliding.

Sliding front and back-side.

Dead leave.

Using the ski-lifts and chairlifts.

1° Surf

I can control my balance, my speed, and my direction on easy slopes (greens).

How to stop making a rounded side-slipping.

Elementary evolution: how to control my front and back-side turns on a green piste, and my changes of direction on blue ones.

“Flat” notions (Glided 180°, Fakie).

2° Surf

I can control my front and back-side turns on a green piste, and less on a blue one.

I have a few notions about “Flat”.

Basic evolution: how to control my turns with the vertical movement, and to use my equipment at best.     Learning free-style: “flat” and jumps. Free-ride notions.

3° Surf

I can control my front and back-side turns on blue and red pistes.

“Flat” and notions about free-ride.

Rafined evolution : carved press holds, changing the size of the curves and the rhythm.

Going deeper in the free-style (Flat, slide, slope-style, building kicks in the back-country), and the free-ride (and also aliving the kids to the off-piste security).
