Snowboard instructors: first-day lessons for beginners

How snowboard instructors can book first-day lessons for beginners online: morning lessons, small groups, kit and meeting points, and a second day after.

5 min read

A first day on a snowboard decides whether someone comes back. Beginners want a calm start, a small group and clear instructions on where to meet and what to wear. With Book, beginners book a first-day lesson on your own booking page, read everything they need to know beforehand, and you keep groups small so everyone gets your attention.

Beginner services

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

ServiceExample slotPlacesExample price
First-day group lesson9:30–12:005€65
First-day private lesson9:30–12:001€170
Second-day group lesson9:30–12:005€65
Family first lesson (up to 3)2 h1€130

Times, places and prices are examples. Say in the description whether board hire and lift passes are included.

Small groups, morning slots

Set group places to what you can teach well on the beginner slope. Each online booking takes one place, and a full group leaves your page. Mornings suit beginners, when the snow is softer and they're fresh. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date.

What the description should say

  • the meeting point and time, and how to recognise you;
  • what to wear, such as waterproofs, gloves and goggles;
  • whether boards, boots and helmets are included or where to hire them;
  • that no experience is needed.

What to ask in the note

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email. Ask for age, boot size if you provide kit, and whether they skate or surf. A parent booking for a child puts the child's first name and age in the note.

Booking the second day

At the end of the first lesson, offer a second day. Book it yourself from your bookings list; with their email, the beginner gets a confirmation with a calendar file.

Weather and closures

Say in the description what happens if lifts close or visibility is poor. Move or cancel from your list and tell beginners yourself, since Book doesn't email clients about changes.

What Book doesn't do

Book doesn't take payments, rent kit, sell lift passes or send reminders. Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you. One booking page per business, no staff field: in a school, create services per instructor. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
