The 5 day Technical Clinic is where you start to get serious about your riding, it's where you start to get involved and take an interest in how you ride, what you ride and why you ride.

For me it is one of the most important courses that I run and one of the most essential steps you can take with regards to your development as a high performance Snowboarder.

I have been running the Technical Clinic courses for over 10 years, always developing and refining the content to bring you everything you need and nothing you don't to explore perfect Snowboard technique in its simplest form.

I'm continualy impressed with how much a rider can improve over the five day period of this course once they know 'how, why and what to focus on' and have many experienced clients that have attended the Technical Clinic numerous times and have now attained a seriously impressive level of riding!

If you’re going to get serious about your Snowboarding this unique 5 day Technical Clinic is the one course you cannot afford to miss, it’ll change the way you see and ride the mountain forever!

The Technical Clinic is the first step in our progression but should not be underestimated. Suited to those of good intermediate and above this course is designed to help you explore the science behind perfect snowboard technique and lead you from On piste performance to Off Piste perfection.

The Technical Clinic brings you an exciting 5 days of technical exploration and guided discovery that combines the ‘Science’ and ‘Art’ of Snowboarding teaching you how to understand and feel for the natural way to ride, creating the perfect technique and for any given riding task.

The Technical Clinic is where the ride becomes more than just a simple journey from A to B, but about what happens in between.

Be prepared for change!
