Ukraine I would like to thank instructor Martina for an incredible experience and two amazingly productive and fun days! I would highly recommend Martina as an instructor to anyone who dreams of trying snowboarding.
Personally, I had absolutely no prior experience neither with skiing nor snowboarding. I can barely stand on ice skates, I fall off rollerblades, and I even once broke both of my arms just from dancing. So the fact that on the second day I was already riding down the slope on my own with a decent level of confidence feels truly unbelievable for me, especially as a very clumsy person.
Martina was teaching both me and my boyfriend, who had a brief snowboarding experience in the past. She did an excellent job balancing her attention between us and creating a personalized learning approach that matched our slightly different skill levels and very different temperaments.
What I appreciated the most:
1. A very friendly and welcoming atmosphere
2. Gentle teaching with absolutely no stress
3. Martina supported me at every step and celebrated even the smallest progress
I started at a level where I couldn’t even stand steadily without support. Martina had to hold my hands and help me get up. And the very next day, I was riding on my own, turning while moving, starting from the top of the slope, and instead of being scared, I was genuinely having fun.
I would also like to highlight the high level of service and rest of the team overall: excellent help with rental equipment selection, gear in great condition, high-quality boards and boots, all of this really makes a difference if you want to have a positive experience.
My personal advice for beginners: make sure to buy or rent protective gear for your tailbone and knees in advance.
