Snow Boarding


Get active this winter and join us on the slopes for a great snowboarding experience.  This winter was one of the best in decades with snowboarding until the end of May. Scotland normally gets great snow conditions in January through early April when we will have day trips and courses running every day and weekend. The Scottish ski centres continue to develop their facilities and provide a great way to learn and develop your skills before perhaps heading off to the Alps or America. Active offer a range of ski and board packages including day trips as well as holidays and courses to suit beginners, intermediate and advanced skiers and boarders.

 

Snowboarding Weekends


Skiing and snowboarding courses run every weekend throughout the winter season and early spring at Craigower Lodge. We use Cairngorm Mountain and occasionally Nevis Range or the Lecht depending on conditions. Courses are suitable for complete beginners and For intermediates stuck on a frustrating “Plateau” why not try a day on blades? A great way to experiment with some new tricks and inject some fun back into your skiing! We can offer you Scottish Snowsports Awards to guide and encourage you in your development.
