Snowboard Lessons in Tignes & Val d'Isere

Hi, I’m James, founder of Aspect Snowboarding, based in Tignes, France.

Originally from North Yorkshire, UK, I’ve spent the past 18 years coaching snowboarders around the world – including Japan, New Zealand, Canada, and Switzerland – before settling in Tignes.

I’m a highest-level qualified snowboard instructor, as well as an instructor trainer and examiner. I coach everyone from complete beginners to instructor candidates, with sessions that are clear, structured, and built around your riding.

All sessions are delivered by me.

Focused, high-quality coaching designed to help you progress with confidence and get more from every day on the mountain.

LESSONS & COACHING

Beginners

No gimmicks, no rushed groups, and no pressure. If it’s your first time strapping onto a snowboard, we’ll start with the fundamentals. I’ll guide you step-by-step through a clear, structured progression to get you linking your first clean turns with control and confidence.

Intermediate

Comfortable on blues but feeling stuck or inconsistent on steeper slopes? We’ll break down exactly where your technique is breaking down and build the adaptability you need to tackle those steeper runs with flow and enjoyment rather than survival tactics.

More info

Advanced

For experienced riders looking to eliminate bad habits and find true performance. We’ll dive deep into biomechanics and technical precision, sharpening efficiency so you can charge harder, react faster, and master whatever the mountain throws at you.

Kids

Real snowboarding technique, scaled down for younger riders. I provide focused, engaging coaching that keeps things fun while building foundational skill, safety awareness, and technical control on the snow from day one.

More info

Freestyle

From side hits to park features, freestyle is all about commitment and a solid technical foundation. We’ll break it down into clear manageable steps so you can progress safely without the guesswork.

More info

Off-Piste

Riding off piste often demands a different approach. We’ll develop your terrain management skills and technical movements, giving you the control to handle off-piste snow and decision making confidently and safely.

Instructor training

Instructor exam preparation with structured coaching from a BASI trainer with extensive experience delivering courses as both a trainer and examiner.

We’ll work through the key assessment areas in detail, helping you understand exactly what the standard looks like and how it is applied in real exam scenarios. I’ll help you refine your riding, sharpen your teaching, and build the clarity and consistency needed to perform under pressure.

The aim is simple: to get you to your exam feeling prepared, confident, and ready to deliver your best.
