Going out on to Pamps on the 24th.Second year.Have ski lessons booked again,but daughter(12)would like to try snowboarding this year.Any ideas and help would be appreciated.Is the 2 hour snowboard taster any good?re: Snowboard taster
its great fun but very hard on the body, well depends how old you are. we did the taster a couple of years ago as i have said its great but reminded me of getting a bloody good hiding and paying for the pleasure, seriously it is good fun but be warned it is painful but hey who knows you may be a natual, good luck and enjoyre: Snowboard taster
is that the paintball king?? from what we saw of your daughter skiing last year can we suggest chocolate in front of the snowboard and she should be fine!!!! Or can't you see that far!!!re: Snowboard taster
A taster will give you an idea of what it's all about. I ski and board, to be honest I find it hard to get the skis on as boarding is much easier once you get the hang of it. From a young uns point of view it's way cooler as well. I learnt both on a dry slope by the way, If you can link turns on a dry slope, on snow it's a peice of cake.re: Snowboard taster
from what we saw of you 2 last year & your mad mother you should stick to sledging or strap a snowboard to your bottom coz thats where you spend most of your time p.s. has you husbands tongue thawed out?

Call in at the Snowshack (just beneath the Markony Bar) and see Gary or Ted. Taster costs something like £30 for all gear and tuition.If anybody can get her hooked on boarding - they will.

I am going out on the 16th and my 7yr old son is gonna be having boarding lessons this year so can let you know how he gets on when we get back if ...
