Private Off-Piste Snowboard Lessons

Having the right insurance is essential for off-piste snowboard lessons to ensure you’re fully covered.

Make sure your travel insurance includes coverage for winter sports. This should cover any trip cancellations, medical expenses, and losses due to unforeseen circumstances, including weather or health issues. Regular travel insurance might not cover off-piste snowboarding. Ensure that your policy specifically includes off-piste activities.

Medical and Rescue fee coverage is important for off-piste snowboarding. It should cover the costs of mountain rescue services, helicopter evacuations if necessary, and medical treatment. Off-piste snowboarding can lead to accidents in remote areas, making quick and efficient rescue and medical care essential.

It’s important to read the fine print of any insurance policy to ensure no exclusions could affect you, especially concerning the specifics of off-piste snowboarding. Discussing your needs with an insurance provider can also help ensure you have the appropriate coverage for your adventure.

Freeride or all-mountain snowboards are best for off-piste conditions. They handle deep snow and rough terrains. These boards are often directional and set back, boosting powder performance.

A medium to stiff flex is ideal, offering stability and control. Longer boards enhance powder floatation. But, they should still be manageable for your height and weight.

We recommend boards with a rocker profile for powder. They prevent the nose from sinking. Hybrid profiles, mixing rocker and camber, balance floatation and edge control well.

Consider these factors. Base your choices on your riding style, weight, and the off-piste conditions you expect.

During our off-piste snowboarding lessons, we teach you how to use avalanche safety gear. This includes transceivers, shovels and probes.

This training is crucial for anyone going into off-piste areas. Understanding and skill in using avalanche safety gear can greatly increase your safety and the safety of others in an avalanche. We make sure you feel ready to handle these situations. This will enhance your enjoyment and peace of mind while exploring the mountains.
