Hi, I’m James, founder of Aspect Snowboarding.
Originally from North Yorkshire, UK, I’ve spent over 18 years coaching snowboarders across Japan, New Zealand, Canada, and Switzerland before making Tignes my home base.
As a BASI Level 4 ISTD instructor, trainer, and examiner, my focus is 100% on snowboarding – whether you’re strapping in for the first time, pushing past a plateau, or preparing for instructor exams.
From beginner coaching to technical refinement for expert riders, I take the guesswork out of progression through clear, structured, and personalised coaching.
Every lesson is delivered personally by me, combining specialist technical expertise with a welcoming, supportive approach to help you ride better, build confidence, and get the absolute most out of your time on the mountain.
