3 x 2hrs enough lessons?

hi evrybody,
to those who've already had snowboarding lessons:

i've booked a learner snowboard package for 3x 2hrs.

just like to know what others think,

Hi there, I came back from Borovets a few days ago and had the same tuition. 3x2 hours was ample time to learn all the basics. By the end of the week me and my group of fellow learners were able to cover any green run with ease. Some even tried a few black runs without incident, however they will be going through the intermediate tuition before they try that again!!!

Hi LR

From what I gather the tuition is ample. The afternoons are free for you to perfect your boarding, perhaps you could also book private tuition if it was available. Don't worry you will have a great time.

My mates booked that amount of tuition when we went to Boro but found that their instructor was happy to spend all day with them at no extra charge (needless to say he got a fantastic tip at the end of the week).
You'll find it's hard work at first and then suddenly something will click (hopefully not a bone!) and you'll find that you can link your turns without falling over. Atleast that's what I found but then I just bought a board and taught myself....took a while mind but 3 years on I'm ...

Have a blast
