Never been on the slopes before? Wondering whether you should snowboard this season?

Never been on the slopes before? Wondering whether you should snowboard this season? We list five top reasons to go snowboarding:

It’s Fashionable: There’s nothing cooler than winding down the slopes on a snowboard. So it’s no surprise that pros, like Sean White, can be spotted hanging out with stars such as Jamie Lee Curtis and Pamela Anderson.

You Surf on Powder: Any snowboarder will tell you that there’s no experience quite like that of ‘surfing on powder’, which snowboarders describe as an incomparable feeling of floating along the top of the snow. Snowboards have a large surface area, which means more contact with the snow; making it far easier to take control on powdered snow.

Learn it Faster: Although it may take some initial effort to pick up, snowboarding can be mastered quite quickly. You’ll certainly take a few more spills at first, but given a bit of passion and perseverance you’ll be king of the slopes in no time.

Cool Gear: Snowboarding gear looks great! From baggy clothes to tinted goggles, not to mention the boards themselves, snowboarders have a certain self-assured presence. So grab a board, scrub up and stand out from the crowd!

Freestyler: Snowboarding is all about the tricks. From ‘ollies’ to ‘nosegrabs’, there’s a whole array of tricks – not to mention a whole freestyle culture. If this is what you’re looking for then perhaps snowboarding is for you!

Going Snowboarding? Topflight recommends!

A top ski holiday destination in France, Meribel – is located close to the legendary Moon Park Snow Park. At the Moon Park you’ll find snowboarding courses for beginners, intermediates and experts. Freestylers will also appreciate the whoops, tables, rails and boxes which add a sort of ‘urban jungle’ quality to the snow park.
