Snowboard

What level are you?

Our new Snowflex Slopes have revolutionised learning at Kilternan. This soft carpet like surface is good for skiers but even better for  snowboarders.

BEGINNER (A series)

A Series
Our beginners group of classes is called A series. These beginner classes will be mainly taken on our new slopes which are equipped with the latest Snowflex Surface and Magic Carpet Travelator Lifts. This course covers the basics of snowboarding starting from side slipping and falling leaf exercises through straight running and using the drag lift. The course progresses to the components of a basic turn.
There are 4 Classes in A Series (A1-A4), and it is possible to book just one class or preferably the full series. The classes are taken in sequence - first A1 then A2, A3 and A4.

ADVANCED BEGINNER (B series)

B series
For those who have completed our beginner classes (A series) or have some snowboarding experience we recommend the advanced beginner classes.

B series starts with a recap of the ground covered in the earlier classes in order to ensure that a good grasp of the basics has been achieved. The course continues over the weeks with lots of running and exercises to target particular areas of boarding technique, while all the time building the pupil’s confidence and ability. The goal of the series is to achieve good basic slide turns.
The classes is this course are called B1, B2, B3 and B4.

ADVANCED (C and D series)

More advanced classes are held occasionally and are grouped into a series of 4 classes once again. The aim of these classes is to produce good quality linked carved turns of both long and short radius on any terrain. The exact structure of the class will depend on the ability of the pupils and the class will be geared towards their specific needs. Having completed these high level classes most pupils should achieve a high enough level of riding to tackle the vast majority of terrain while away on holidays.
