The Course
From linked turns to carved arcs
This is the bridge between 'I can get down' and 'I can ride'. Over six days we smooth out your linked turns, introduce carving on both edges, add switch riding, and take you onto the variable snow, trees and Gondola terrain where real snowboarding begins.
Coached in small groups by rider-only instructors who ride Apharwat every day, with all-mountain gear and lift access included.

Six days from linking to Gondola
Day 01
Refresh & Assess
Warm up on familiar terrain to refresh edge control and falling-leaf, so your coach can tailor the week to exactly where you ride.
Day 02
Dynamic Linked Turns
Smooth, continuous heel-to-toe transitions with rhythm and flow — the moment riding starts to feel effortless.
Day 03
Carving Foundations
Tip the board on edge and let its sidecut carve clean arcs on gentle groomers, building edge grip and body angulation.
Day 04
Switch & Variable Snow
Ride switch on easy terrain, then take your turns into crud, soft snow and your first tree lines for all-mountain confidence.
Day 05
The Gondola Opens Up
Ride Phase 1 and lower Phase 2 for long descents, linking the week's skills on bigger blue and red terrain.
Day 06
Consolidate & Certify
Mileage on your favourite runs, video feedback and an intermediate progression certificate before departure.
The Mountain
Where this course takes you
You'll progress from the learner meadow onto Gondola Phase 1 and the lower blue and red runs of Phase 2.
Terrain shown is illustrative. Daily run choices depend on snow, weather and avalanche conditions — always follow your instructor and ski patrol on the mountain.
