“Your coach. Your pick. Your vibe.”
CHOOSE WHO YOU RIDE WITH, NOT JUST “AN INSTRUCTOR”
Scroll through Maison Sport and you quickly realise something: this isn’t a faceless booking engine, it’s a tailored experience that gives you the freedom to choose how you progress your snowboarding.
You choose exactly who you want to ride with.
Not “someone from the snowboard department.” Not “whoever’s left at 9am.”
Your coach. Your pick. Your vibe.
There are 1,300+ verified instructors across more than 430 European resorts, and every one of them has:
- Detailed bios
- Honest customer reviews (over 12,500 verified reviews, no BS)
- Clear experience levels
- Transparent prices
- Rider specialisms (freestyle, freeride, carving, progression, kids, adaptive, the lot)
It means you can book an instructor who matches exactly what you want – whether that’s learning to butter, finally committing to riding switch, hitting side hits all morning or hunting for cold-smoke stashes beyond the ropes.
No guessing. No awkward “this isn’t what I wanted” halfway through the lesson.
Just dialled-in coaching from someone you’ve chosen yourself.
PERSONAL PROGRESSION: YOUR SESSION, YOUR STYLE
Traditional ski schools tend to operate like conveyor belts – groups lined up, slot A meets slot B, everyone gets funneled into a structure whether it works for them or not.
Maison Sport flips the whole thing.
Private, group, half-day, full-day, freestyle sessions, off-piste missions, snowboard-only coaching, mixed-discipline groups – you name it, they run it.
Want a mellow morning session with your kids, followed by an afternoon of finding natural features and grin-inducing side hits? Done.
Want a pure backcountry day with an instructor who knows the local couloirs like the back of their glove? Also done.
Need a coach who can help you finally crack those frontside 180s without face-planting for the camera? There’s someone for that too.
You pick:
- the instructor
- the time
- the location
- the style
- the pace
It’s the kind of coaching that meets you where you’re at and takes you exactly where you want to go.
MORE MONEY FOR INSTRUCTORS = BETTER LESSONS FOR YOU
This is one of the coolest (and least talked about) things Maison Sport has changed: instructors keep up to 93% of the lesson cost.
That’s huge.
In most traditional ski and snowboard schools, instructors see only a slivery slice of the fee you pay. Here, they keep the bulk of it – which:
- attracts seriously good talent
- means coaches are often more passionate, more invested, which makes sessions more personal
- helps the mountain’s best freelance riders actually make a living
It’s a more ethical system and it results in better sessions. A rare win-win.
“Maison Sport isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel.
It’s just making it roll a hell of a lot smoother.”
EASY BOOKING, ZERO FUSS, ALL THE INFO UPFRONT
Snowboarders are here for the adventure – but clunky booking systems and hidden surprises? Yeah, not so much.
Maison Sport’s platform is fast, transparent and actually enjoyable to use. You can:
- search instructors by resort, rating, skill, price or specialism
- check availability instantly
- see real customer reviews (over 60% of all lessons get reviewed)
- message instructors directly
- book and pay online in a few clicks
Instead of spending time trawling the internet, you can spend that time waxing your board and manifesting snowfall. Much better.
