Snowboarding - have you got what it takes? .......

Snowboarding is the fastest growing sport in the world and with one in three people taking a winter sports holiday estimated to be snowboarders, we’re glad to report that we are not lagging behind the competition. Here we show-case Balkan Holidays Snowboarding Holidays as one example of the fun you can have!

Balkan Holidays offer pre-booked hire and tuition for periods of usually 3 or 6 days in all resorts. If you’ve never tried this sport before you’ll be pleased to know it has a short learning curve, although after your first try, you’ll probably have picked up quite an interesting collection of aches and bruises. However, don’t give up, as by day two, having learnt the basic manoeuvres, you’ll soon acquire the confidence and control to start getting to grips with the sport.

Hire and tuition prices offered in advance are cheaper than in resort and the relevant packs are shown on the resorts' pages or will appear as an optional add-on at the time of booking your holiday.

Ski & Snowboard Gradings

At Balkan Holidays, each resort introduction page have a grading for beginners, intermediates and experts. Their rating system will help identify how suitable each resort is for the different levels of skiing based on the difficulty of the ski runs, their variety and dominance.

Beginners

Balkan Holidays class a beginner as someone who is either taking their first steps on the slopes, or someone who has only skied once or twice before. There is a great temptation amongst a lot of beginners to try to move on as quickly as possible, but it’s worth remembering that those who learn all the basics properly obtain far more enjoyment out of their skiing by the end of their holiday

Intermediates

No two "Intermediates" will be the same as the term covers a vast range of skiing ability. All intermediates however should be at home on a blue (easy) run and confident enough on a red (medium) run. They will have had at least a couple of weeks in Ski School, and will be able to perform a stem-christy and reasonable parallel turn. We would strongly recommend some additional lessons because there is still a lot to learn. Wrong techniques and bad habits picked up at this stage are very hard to get rid of. All Balkan Holiday’s resorts have excellent grading for Intermediates skiing and proud of their teaching records.

Advanced

An advanced skier will be at home on any snow, be it on or off piste, and will always stay in complete control. It is true to say that whilst none of the ski resorts we feature offer particularly extensive skiing, there is plenty to keep even an expert happy. Some of the most challenging ski runs you will find in Bansko and Borovets, as well as some extreme ski and snowboard shows and attractive facilities.
