WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“Fantastic week,
Jay is a supremely talented snowboarder with an effortless style and a keen eye for detail. He was able to give each of us on the 5-day performance course a range of different pointers, resulting in all of us improving greatly.

Very approachable and professional in his teaching style, guiding rather than telling you how to do it.

I would highly recommend anyone visiting Tignes or Val d’Isere to book snowboard lessons with Freedom.”
