Mother & Son – Back on a Snowboard at 49
“My son and I decided to take snowboard lessons together. He was a complete beginner, and I hadn’t been on a snowboard for years. I have to admit, I was a little nervous about getting back into it at 49.”

“What I really appreciated was that we both got the attention we needed, even though we were at completely different levels. My son picked things up pretty quickly, while I needed a bit more time to feel comfortable and get my confidence back.”
“In the end, we had such a good time that we’re already talking about when we can come back. I’m especially happy that we’ve found something we can do together and actually both enjoy.”
A Mum’s Experience – Four Days of Snowboard Lessons
“I was a little nervous about booking lessons for my 11-year-old son. He has ADHD, he’s very energetic, and we haven’t always had the best experiences with lessons and organised activities. He finds it hard to concentrate for long, gets distracted easily, and can become frustrated when things don’t work out straight away.”

“I explained all of this beforehand, so the instructor knew what to expect. And honestly, it went much better than I had hoped.”
“Of course, there were moments when he wasn’t listening or wanted to do something completely different. But the instructor handled those situations really well, without turning the whole lesson into a constant struggle to make him behave. And he was actually learning along the way.”
“We spent four days there, and by the end he was doing really well on his snowboard. But what mattered most to me was that he was happy to go back every morning. I didn’t have to persuade him once.”
“I’m really glad we gave it a try. He came home with new skills, more confidence, and a genuine love for snowboarding.”
Four Guys, Four Days, Plenty of Snowboarding
“Four of us headed to the mountains for a little snowboard trip and some team bonding. We all work pretty much nonstop throughout the year, so we really needed a few days away from the usual routine.”

“We booked four hours of coaching a day for four days. Doesn’t sound like that much, but trust me, by the second evening we could definitely feel our legs.”
“The good thing was that we weren’t just riding around doing the same old stuff. We actually worked on our technique and made some real progress. But there was still plenty of messing around, laughing at each other and the usual banter.”
“By the evenings we were properly tired, grabbed some good food, had a few laughs, and got up the next morning ready to do it all again.”
“We had a great time, improved our riding, and managed to forget about work for four whole days.”
“Exactly the kind of break we needed.”
