Two weeks into the course and everyone is settled in and making massive improvements thanks to Brendan, our trainer. We are all looking forward to making our first serious step towards our final qualification with our BASI Level 1 assessment next week, starting tomorrow.

On Thursday we all took a leap into the unknown by attending a huge beach party at the local club - only 100m from our hotel! The club made a proper effort, bringing up 10 tonnes of actual sand to cover the floor. I went as a lifeguard, whilst Lukas (a fellow course
member) went in shorts and Ray Bans!

Today a few of us went to the newly finished jump park in Zermatt, with a huge halfpipe. We all tried grinding a couple of rails for the first time ever - all of us failing miserably! This evening, coming back from skiing, we were shown how skis are serviced at a local ski shop which proved very interesting.

Looking forward to starting our BASI Level 1 tomorrow!

Testimonial

I went to Argentina last summer with Peak Leaders. I can quite honestly say it was one of the best experiences of my life so far! I wasn’t a great snowboarder when I arrived, but we had two Argentine instructors, Pety Figola and Vicky who spent a lot of time with me / us in a small group. I had never done off-piste or ridden powder before, but they were always positive and helpful and I really grew in confidence and skill.
