A private snowboard lesson is the perfect way to learn to snowboard or refresh your snow legs with some more advanced skills. For one-on-one tuition or learning in a small group, you will receive personalised instruction from your expert instructors and enjoy flying through the learning stages at your own pace. Beginners start out learning on our Beginner Slope Private Lessons before advancing, taking on our Main Slope Private Lessons. Learn how our private snowboard lessons in Hemel Hempstead can help you get the most out of your time snowboarding.
The Beginner Slope at The Snow Centre Hemel Hempstead is the largest indoor real snow dedicated lesson slope in the UK. If you are a complete beginner, still learning the basics of side slipping or turning, a Beginner Slope Private Lesson is for you.
If you are at or above Stage 5, starting to link turns, can use a button lift and are developing your steering technique. Or perhaps you are already a confident snowboarder looking to further develop your skills? A Main Slope Private Lesson is for you.
Whether it’s just you and the instructor or a small group of friends, our instructors know how to get the best out of you and ensure everyone is progressing quickly.
Private snowboard lessons at The Snow Centre Hemel Hempstead are tailored to you, allowing you to learn at your own pace. You can add additional guests to create a small group private lesson and still benefit from focused time with our expert instructors.
Our private snowboard lessons allow you to develop your skills and abilities on the slopes, often much quicker than in a group lesson. Whether you choose one-to-one tuition or add up to 5 additional guests of your choosing, your private lesson will help you progress fast.
After spending time on the slopes, learning new skills, it's time to unwind. The Lodge Bar & Kitchen offers the perfect place to enjoy food, refreshments and Après Ski.
Learn to snowboard with our expert instructors. Whether you’re just finding your feet or rekindling your passion for all things snow, we have the perfect private snowboard lessons for you at The Snow Centre Hemel Hempstead.
Whilst you pick up all the skills and techniques you need in your private snowboarding lessons, why not introduce the little snowboarder in your life to our slopes and start them on their learning journey with some family snowboard lessons, private lessons or group kids’ snowboarding lessons. Private lessons start from three years old, while your kids can join group lessons from seven years old.
See what our customers had to say about their time at The Snow Centre Hemel Hempstead:
“Great lessons with experienced instructors who put kids and parents at their ease. The lessons were full as it was half term, but each child still didn’t have to wait too long between turns on the slope. It was easy to get and return equipment and the food in the restaurant was great and came promptly.”
“Easy access from M1. Plenty of parking, simple registration, and quick service to collect skis, boots etc. Both lifts serving the main slopes worked faultlessly and although the session was quite busy I felt the slopes were quite free of other skiers classes. I particularly liked the snow conditions and at the end enjoyed the amazing cafè overlooking the slopes. Reasonably priced menu. All told an excellent start to our skiing this year.”
“Very friendly staff. Good, clean facilities and very good prices on lessons lift passes.”
“We booked a beginners group ski lesson for 4 people and we had such a good time. Our ski instructor was Stuart T and from start to finish he was super helpful and encouraging. We would 100% recommend learning with him and are looking forward to going back again so that we can progress further.”
Aim to arrive at least 30 minutes before the start time of your lesson to allow ample time for check-in, equipment collection and preparation. Upon arrival, please have your booking reference available (you can find this on your booking confirmation email and even save it to your digital wallet). You’ll collect your tickets from the Guest Services desk or the self-service ticket machines situated near reception. If your booking confirmation has a QR code, you can scan it at the self-service machines to check in.
Our facilities include changing cubicles, accessible changing facilities, and free lockers available to store your belongings.
Yes, although our adult snowboard lessons and kids snowboard lessons provide an excellent way to learn how to snowboard alongside fellow boarders all at the same level, a private lesson allows for you to learn in a one-on-one environment with our instructors able to correct any mistakes and behaviours and tailor the lessons to your needs. This focused tuition often means you will make progress more quickly than in a group setting.
Warm clothing is essential for your snowboard lesson; it's real snow after all. A waterproof jacket and trousers will allow you to enjoy your snowboard lesson fully; these can be hired from us if needed. Gloves and warm socks can be purchased from us if you don’t have your own. The rest of your equipment is included in your lesson fee.
No two people learn at the same rate; while you may find some aspects harder or easier than others, the average time taken to become competent at snowboarding is around 8-10 hours. Through your private snowboard lessons, you can take the time to master areas you find challenging or move faster through the areas you feel more comfortable in.
We have two main types of private snowboard lessons: Beginner Slope Private and Main Slope Private. Beginner slope private lessons are ideal for those who are just starting out or have taken a few lessons already. Main slope private lessons are for those who are either just starting on Main Slope or are proficient snowboarders looking to develop specific areas or skills. If you fill out our ‘What Stage Am I?’ form and the response suggests you are in Stages 1-4, book a Beginner Slope Private Lesson. If the suggestion is Stages 5 or above, book a Main Slope Private Lesson.
Simply select the lesson that you and up to 5 additional guests want – Beginner Slope or Main Slope – at a date and time to suit you all. Once you have selected these, you will be asked if you would like to add additional guests, and you can enter how many you would like.
Whether you’re looking for an adult skiing lesson or looking to give the family a fun day out, our team can handle any and all lessons. If you have any questions about booking an event or any of our services, please contact us, and a member of our team will be happy to help.
