Sarikamis Snowboard Experience

This snowboarding experience at the Sarıkamış ski resort is designed for those who want to try snowboarding for the first time or enjoy the snow. Accompanied by an expert instructor, with all equipment included, you safely meet the snow on the beginner slopes.

About the resort

With its rare “crystal snow” and slopes among Scots pine forests, Sarıkamış offers a matchless skiing experience.

What is Snowboard?

Snowboarding is the sport of gliding on snow-covered slopes on a single board with both feet fixed to it. It offers a feel similar to skateboarding and surfing and relies on balance and core control. Though a little challenging on the first day, it soon becomes great fun.

How does the experience unfold?

The experience begins with a short welcome and equipment fitting. On a flat area, the instructor shows the basic stance, balance, stopping and falling and getting up. When you feel ready, you take the lift to the beginner slope and make your first descents safely with the instructor.

Important: transport is not included

This is an experience product; there is no service departure from a specific point. You reach the ski resort yourself, by your own vehicle or by public transport. The meeting point and time are shared after the reservation. For the option with transport (service) included, you can look at the “Tour” version of the same resort.

Who is it for?

This experience is suitable for beginner-level participants of all ages; no knowledge of snowboarding or prior experience is required. A reasonable level of fitness is enough. Age and safety conditions for children are shared before the reservation.

Equipment

All equipment is provided: the snowboard (board and bindings), snowboard boots and a helmet. The equipment is chosen to your height, foot size and level; soft, forgiving boards are used for beginners.

Safety

Your safety is our priority: helmet use is mandatory, the equipment is checked regularly, and the whole activity takes place under an instructor/attendant, on slopes suited to your level. If weather and slope conditions are unsuitable, the activity is postponed to a safe time.

What to bring?

We recommend bringing a waterproof ski jacket and trousers, thermal base layers, waterproof gloves, a beanie, a neck warmer, snow/sun goggles and sunscreen. The ski/snowboard equipment and helmet are provided by us; dress in layers to keep warm and dry.

Why ski / snowboard?

Skiing and snowboarding are enjoyable winter sports that develop balance, coordination and endurance while working the whole body. Clean mountain air, snowy scenery and the freedom that speed brings make these sports far more than just exercise. Winter’s finest memories are often gathered on the slopes.

Best time and season

The ski season generally runs from December to the end of March; January and February, when the snow is deepest, are the most rewarding period. Weekdays are when the slopes are calmer and more comfortable, while weekends are the busiest. The exact date and time are set according to the resort’s snow depth and weather that day and shared with you clearly after the reservation.

What is included?

The package includes all snowboarding equipment for the set time (equipment included), a basic orientation with an instructor, a lift pass for the beginner slope and a safety briefing. Transport is not included.

Enjoy the snow and speed first-hand. Reserve your place and enjoy snowboarding on the slopes of Sarıkamış.
