we had pavol as our boarding instructor and he was rubbish. i only had 1 lesson but everyone else i was with said it got worse. he tried to teach us to board with only 1 foot in which to me does not make sense and he has no patience for anyone.
good places to go are katys steak house , mamacitas and the happy duck which is a fantastic night with live singers!
if anyone has any questions just give me a shout and i will be happy to help.
also the neilson reps are great and a really good laugh
When I learnt how to board last year, we started of with one foot in the bindings and the other not and this has done me no harm I managed just fine, infact I was tought that both in the UK and Bulgaria. Nice I am wizzing down the slopes
I got back on Sunday as well, also had snowboarding lessons as was my first time from the lovely Eka - we also started with one foot in - the principle behind it being it trains you to put your weight on the front foot, and I think it's a common technique for begginers.. I was coming down the red and black runs by day 3 and 4 more than happilly.
