We are Aspect Snowboarding, an independent snowboard school serving Tignes and Val d’Isere. Passionate about all things snowboarding, we dedicate ourselves to helping riders of all levels reach new heights. With a deep respect for the mountains and a commitment to safety, learning, and fun, we offer sessions and adventures tailored to your individual needs and goals.

We pride ourselves on a personalised approach, teaching exclusively on a one-to-one or private group basis. This ensures every student receives close attention, customised lessons, and feedback designed to help them progress. We understand that everyone learns at their own pace, and we create an environment that encourages skill development and boosts confidence on the slopes.

Hi, I’m James, the owner and driving force behind Aspect. Originally from North Yorkshire, UK, and now based in Tignes, France. I live here with my Wife, Sarah, and our adventure dog Ivy.
With 20 years of snowboard coaching experience worldwide from Japan and New Zealand to Canada and Switzerland, I have dedicated my life to helping people elevate their snowboarding skills.
Achieving the role of BASI (British Association of Snowsports Instructors) Trainer and Examiner is a massive source of pride for me. Through that I share my expertise with aspiring instructors, helping to shape the next generation of snowboarding professionals.
My past experience, combined with a never-ending love for the sport inspired me to create Aspect Snowboarding. I am committed to sharing my passion for snowboarding with others and helping them embark on their own snowboarding journeys. Get ready to laugh, learn and create lifelong memories just as I have throughout the years!
