Snowboarding Skills: Beginners and Beyond follows BASI's well respected Central Theme. It's a clear step-by-step progression that takes the complete beginner to a stage where they can slide and carve their turns and cover most of the mountain.

Being a beginner's guide, the programme has separate sections on:

• Equipment: Choosing and setting up of different boards and boots.
• Clothing: Specialist clothing and accessories for snowboarders.
• Safety: Etiquette on the mountain and the essential rules of the road.
• Destinations: What snowboarders need to look for in a resort and opportunities for practicing skills at indoor ski slopes in the UK.
