Steven McDonald - snowboard instructor

Independent Snowboard Instructor. Teaching from beginner to expert carving or freestyle sessions. Off-piste and splitboard tours from day sessions up to week-long camps. Splitboard & safety equipment provided.

Independent Snowboard Instructor based in Sainte Foy Tarentaise and available to work in Tignes, Val d'Isere and La Rosiere. I hold the BASI Snowboard ISTD, probably the highest-recognised snowboard instructor qualification in the world. I love helping people to build and progress their riding, whether that's teaching new riders or helping advanced riders develop their carving, steeps, freestyle or backcountry technique. Backcountry freeriding is my real passion. I've been an all-year-round Sainte Foy local since 2007 and know the mountain like I was born here. As well as my snowboard instructor qualification, I also hold the International Mountain Leader award, giving me a much deeper and broader knowledge of navigation, snow safety and the mountain environment.
