Fresh Snowboarding

TRAINING APPROACH - What’s your style? Is it a purely targeted physical approach or a combined holistic approach?

To excel at snowboarding, it helps to support your mountain TECHNIQUE training/practice with overall PERFORMANCE training off the mountain too.

Those who have trained with me before know that I’m all about combing BODY, MIND and BOARD.

I’m Renelle Mortimer, International Snowboard Instructor trainer and Examiner. I explain technical snowboarding made simple with a holistic approach.

Today I’ve shared my leg day routine which would normally look like a gym session to most, but I’d like to invite you to consider another option involving nature, nutrition and nurture.

Working with nutrition, flexibility, mobility, strength, psychological and spiritual practices - all designed to fast track my technical learning journey, elevate my technical riding level so I can not only keep my level but keep learning new things, plus support longevity for a long snowboard career with a strong, consistent, safe riding performance.

If you want to know more about this BODY.MIND.BOARD concept, DM me and I’ll send over some info or hit the follow button.

This winter, a new night train lets travelers leave Paris on Friday night and arrive Saturday morning at the doorstep of the French Alps’ main ski resorts!

The Travelski Night Express launched yesterday and departs from Gare de Lyon every Friday night at 22:52 and runs overnight to Moûtiers, Aime, and Bourg-Saint-Maurice, the three key rail gateways to the Tarentaise valley. Arrival is around 8:00 in the morning, already at the base of the resort access roads 🤩

These stations serve around twelve major Alpine resorts in the same area: La Plagne, Les Arcs, Tignes, Val d’Isère, Méribel, Courchevel, Val Thorens, Les Menuires, La Rosière, Peisey-Vallandry, Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, and Brides-les-Bains. This is one of the densest ski regions in the French Alps.

Tickets can be booked as train-only, starting at around €80 one way in a couchette. Travelski also sells full ski packages that include the train, transfers, accommodation, lift pass, and ski rental, starting at about €800 per person for a 7-8 day stay. Booking is done directly through Travelski (not SNCF).

Since sales opened in late May, around a quarter of the available places have already been booked! A great overnight alternative to long winter drives into the Alps 🤩
