I started snowboarding in my late 20s and, knowing the dangers involved, my main aim has always been to get myself safely down the mountain in one piece. However, last year, I began to feel that my lack of courage was preventing me from improving. So I booked myself on the Snowcamp course in the town of Bourg-Saint-Maurice in the French Alps.
There were 14 of us on the course and we stayed in a cheap guesthouse just outside the town. It was a basic-looking building made of local wood. There were strict rules about recycling our rubbish and all the electricity came from a nearby windmill. The facilities, however, went well beyond what I had expected for the price. There was a log fire, a heated boot room, fine balcony views and a menu that any chef would be proud of.
Snowcamp was a good mix of holiday and group learning. Locations for lessons were chosen daily according to the snow conditions. Then we were put into three groups, depending on what skills people wanted to work on. Most of the time, I stayed on the main slopes. The teachers encouraged me to increase my speed and I even did some jumps. After a few days, a teacher called Johno persuaded me to take on a bigger challenge and try the deeper snow. The first 20 seconds of the lesson were fantastic, but then it got difficult. I kept sinking and then having to dig myself out. After 40 minutes, I felt like crying with tiredness and anger but I continued pushing myself and, when I got back on to the main slopes, I suddenly found everything far easier than before. It had been worth all the pain!
