Snowboarding

 

All three Calshot Slopes are covered in Snowflex, a revolutionary new surface which has no holes,

is easy to ski on and softer to fall on. All slopes have lifts, are floodlit and being inside our massive Sunderland Hangar offer an ideal learning environment whatever the weather. After your session

relax in our full licensed bar and Pavement Café at the bottom of the slopes.

 

Calshot is the ideal venue to learn to snowboard. Experienced instructors, safe landings on our Snowflex surface, and, what's more, it's indoors AND floodlit.

Snowflex is great for learners, as it is softer to fall on than traditional dry slope surfaces, and has no holes to catch unsuspecting thumbs.

We never have more than 8 students per instructor, and this ensures you get the personal

input you need to maximise your learning. 

New and Improved for this season

Calshot now has a huge variety of slope toys for discerning and aspiring freestyler’s. Wedge ramps, kickers, boxes and huge rail slides provide the Wednesday evening entertainment, while for intermediates, Monday evenings provide a quieter night with only small jumps. Speed controllers on our drag lifts make for an easy start and we now have 100% Snowflex cover to complete the package that makes Calshot Britain’s number 1 Indoor Dry slope for Snowboarding.
We are now also providing “Flexmeter” wrist guards for all taught sessions. Snowboarding carries a high risk of wrist injury, even with Snowflex matting, the Flexmeter wrist guards are longer than traditional wrist guards and help to protect against broken wrists.

Wrist guards are available to buy from our shop priced £30
