Learn to Snowboard

“The attraction of snowboarding is the freedom it gives you. With a snowboard on your feet the sky is the limit. You can do anything and go anywhere. This is not just for pro riders, it is for everyone.” ~ Jenny Jones, Winter Olympic Bronze Medallist

LEARN TO SNOWBOARD IN A DAY AT SNOW FACTOR GLASGOW – THE UK’S BIGGEST INDOOR REAL SNOW SLOPE.
Snowboarding began life as Snurfing in 1965, when some unsung genius joined 2 skis together and attached a rope to a steer. Today the rope and steer are gone, but the thrill remains with this recognised Winter Olympic sport now popular with dare devils all over the world.
