Accompanied by an instructor, I get to know my equipment and learn to use my first lifts.
I gain confidence and feel at ease when making my first changes of direction.
SNOWBOARD BEAR
My first snowboard skids

Adopt a basic attitude
Using lifts on a snowboard
Perform backside and frontside turns with a basic attitude, independently and safely on gentle slopes.
FLOCON SNOWBOARD
Discover jibs (sliding phases on modules).
Switch direction changes (rounding off in reverse).
Link discovery turns with a basic attitude, independently and safely on gentle slopes.
1st STAR SNOWBOARD
Perform different types of sliding 180° turns (front, cab, back, switch)
Deform my board during gliding phases (tailpress, nosepress)
Link basic turns at constant speed and radius, independently and with maximum safety on gentle slopes.
2nd STAR SNOWBOARD
Discover vertical movement to make it easier to pivot my snowboard.
Maintain an average speed over a certain distance with the board flat.
Refine my riding phases during turns
Deform my board during jibs (sliding on modules)
Evolve on gentle to medium slopes in normal foot (forward) mode
Link up elementary switch turns, independently and safely on gentle slopes.
SNOWBOARD PROGRESSION TEENS/ADULTS :
SNOWBOARD DÉCOUVERTE
Manage my movements and balance on the flat and in direct tracks.
Control my speed and direction and learn how to stop
Make my first skids
Discover jibs (sliding phases on modules), do a 50/50 on a box
Switch direction changes (round off in reverse)
Use snowboard lifts
Perform and link discovery turns while maintaining a basic attitude, independently and with maximum safety on gentle slopes.

SNOWBOARD EXPERT
Control, anticipate and adapt trajectories and speed to all types of situations with style and efficiency.
Perform a series of flat moves.
Take the start of a timed course: bank, boarder or giant slalom.
