Inspired by Jenny Jones: 5 Places To Get Your Great British Shred On

So you watched the girls absolutely kill it on the slopestyle course at the weekend and now you want in! But where to start? Where can you hone your freestyle skills and get as good as Jenny Jones? She learned in the UK and you can too. Here are the best places to get free(style)…

1) LASS Freestyle Shred Days

When? Throughout the winter. This seasons dates are 15th & 16th February (this weekend!) and 8th & 9th March.

Where? Cairngorm Mountain, Aviemore.

Why? With girl coaches on hand to help you stomp it on the real snow, the mountain offers some nice features (boxes and rails) to kickstart your freestyle. Plus being a 100% girl session, it’s the perfect progressive environment to learn in. And the icing on the mountain? The snow is pimping in Scotland right now!

2) Freestyle Fridays at The Snow Centre

When?  Well, Fridays obviously.

Where? Hemel Hempstead

Why? Whatever the weather, you can go for a shred (which is always handy for UK based activities!). Every Friday The Snow Centre welcomes you indoors to ride their freestyle set up (less features than it used to have but still worth the shred!). With a new park plan every week including up to 8 freestyle features, the set-up caters for all abilities and there is a good crew of girls shredding there.

3) Freestyle Coaching in Morzine with Mint Snowboard 

When? All season long

Where? Morzine, Avoriaz.

Why? Okay so it’s not based in Britain but it’s British run so it counts! One of the most raved about snowboard schools in the Alps, Mint is solely for snowboarders and based in the Portes du Soleil area, France (that’s Morzine and Avoriaz). They offer freestyle sessions for all abilities, through private coaching, group sessions and special camps/days until the snow runs out. Plus they are friends of the Jenny Jones…
