Poster: A snowHead

Hi all, just asking in advance if anyone has been “The Hill” at Rossendale (UK) recently for the snowboard sessions, and if they would recommend it?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Taking my 12 year old daughter tomorrow for a ‘taster’ session. Probably start booking lessons going forward. Hopefully book a hol next Feb so time to start learning.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Welcome to Snowheads, @haps1, Is that for snowboarding? If so, I hope your daughter is determined and resilient.

I think I was one of the first to ride snowboards at Rossendale. I'm both determined and resilient, although I didn't really need either attribute (I learned to ski there earlier and it's all the same).

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Learning to snowboard on dryslope is very good discipline as you learn to initiate and shape your turns properly ( no lazy kicking round with the back leg). But the reason you learn is that the slope bites. Don't think my arris has ever been so sore as after those first couple of sessions.

Can't speak for the snowboard lessons but my grandson loves his Saturday morning kids club lessons.. Great slope, great club, great race club.

First and last time I landed on my coccyx was at Rossendale! Couldn’t sit down for a week ouch but that was back in 2001. Is it all carpet now ?
