Intermediate snowboarding holiday courses

If you fancy enhancing the skills you've got and taking it to higher and steeper places then this ones for you!

SYNERGY SNOWSPORTS is a unique Snowboard and Ski Company offering holiday’s and camps with British instructors in Switzerland’s Davos Klosters resort. The SYNERGY team are all BASI qualified UK natives who are passionate about delivering the very best coaching experience in the world. We handle complete beginners to off-piste enthusiasts with the same focus on providing an unforgettable winter holiday in Davos.

Our intermediate courses are aimed at anyone already moving on their snowboard and looking to take the next step to futher develop their skills and confidence. We realise this covers a broad range of snowboarders and as such we are more than prepared to break down groups into smaller ones to make sure that no one is left behind and no one gets held back. We break out courses down into what we call 'PEAKS' so make sure you have a look at the different peaks on our website to give you an idea of what we try and achieve in a week.

If you need equipment then we'll kit you out with the latest and most appropriate gear for you. If you don't get on with it or just fancy trying something new (perhaps before you buy) then that's fine with us too. We'll run you though how to get the most out of your kit with a bit of hardwear theory and ensure that you understand what all the adjustments mean to you and what effect they have on your technique - a very important part of snowboarding.

It's at this stage in your snowboarding career we want to rack up the milage. Our courses have been developed carefully to avoid the typical 'ski school' approach to teaching. That means we spend as little time on our bums as possible, or stopped talking at the side of the piste. You'll learn on the move on some of Europes best pistes. We'll get you starting to 'tilt' your snowbaord and creating lots of grip on your edges and discovering the power of carving! We'll make sure you can adapt to different snow conditions well, steeper slopes and keep your speed up over the flat spots! We remember how frustrating it is to have to keep taking your back foot out - this will soon be a thing of the past!

We'll even run you though some video footage over a hot chocolate to help you see where you are going wrong. And during all of this you’re almost guaranteed to meet other people just like you looking to pick up this great sport in the beautiful mountains. This is all part of what makes our instructional holidays so great.

Synergy....getting the most out of the mountains and the best out of you.

Itinerary / Highlights

Every day is a highlight in Davos! With a fantastic snow record and even better sunshine record (it tends to snow at night) the mountains in our Swiss valley look incredible. Our rough outline for the week is as follows:

Arrival day: We will meet you off the train and take you to your hotel/hostel/apartment. Once we have checked you in we'll give you a little time to settle in before we take you down to 'Top Secret' where we will kit you out with everything you need for the weeks on slope activities. That evening all of our instructors will come and meet you and the rest of that weeks groups in our favourite little bar for welcome drinks where everyone can get to know each other a little better and discuss action plans!

Days 2-4: Each day we will meet you after breakfast either at your accommodation or at an arranged place on the mountain. Out time is then spent covering the miles! Our instruction programme is our secret but you'll soon find out what makes it so much fun and how we get the most out of the hill.

Day 5: Usually a rest day to give your legs a little time to recuperate! We'll take you down to Eau-La-La, our famous outdoor hot tub with massage jets, bubble beds and lots more. You are of course free to ride all day and hit the spa in the evening.

Day 6+7: It's back to the hill for something more challenging! At this stage we normally try and take some video footage to show you. It helps a lot to see the movements you are actually making rather than the ones you think you are making! At this stage of the week most people are playing with new techniques and starting to get some real performance out of their boards. Learning how to manipulate the side cut, generate power from the tail and tighten your turns on the steep stuff as well as getting a little air beneth you with some basic ollies, nollies and more!

Day7 Evening: On the last day we like to take you out to our favourite steak house in Davos - The Ochsen. You can choose from Ostrich, T-Bone, Lamb and Horse and many more and cook them to your liking on your own hot-stone. This is not a meal to be missed, a real culinary treat...you deserve it!

Departure day: Once you're all packed up with tears in your eyes we'll take you back to the station and see you on your way from Davos Platz to Zurich. Until next time there will be lots of Facebook photo reminising and hopefully lots of chat with new friends about when you'll get time to come back! Soon we hope!
