Back in Chamonix after the London Ski show!

These days are coming!

Back to the Mountains!

I'm back in Chamonix were the weather is clear, crisp and cold. Perfect Autumn days are forecast so perfect cycling weather before the busy winter sets in.

I'm back in the office with Ruth who seems to have everything in order so if you need any info drop her a line.

The London Ski show was pretty good, very busy and lots of interest in courses etc. I had about 3000 brochures at the show and we only have about 20 or so places left available on courses this season so a bit of overkill there! I spoke to a lot of people and interest was high and it was great to see such a strong vibe going on for the coming winter.

I've just made my final free week available from the 11th to the 18th April. I was saving this for some me time but as interest was high I have opened this week up for 'group bookings only'!

So if you're a group of riders that want to do something specific and design a week to suit your needs get in touch with us here in the office and we'll see what we can do about designing your dream week.

The week after this from the 18th to 25th I have put on a new BC Freeride week as the other one is now full.

Quite a few courses are now full or filling up so if you're looking to join me this winter out on the hill get in touch with Ruth in the office!

All is good,

Neil.

London Ski Show!

These days are coming!

I'm over in the UK for the London Ski Show!

If you're in the area come on in and pay a visit, I'll be hanging out on the TSA stand near the big air jump.

I have now moved both Kamchatka and Norway to 2011 due to the 2010 schedule getting busier and busier. This years big trip to Gulmarg in the Kashmir Himalaya in January is definitely going ahead and there is lots of interest in this trip so if you's like to join it get in touch with Ruth in the office asap.

I have a new Private (Bespoke) BC week booked 4th t0 10th April and now only one week left for Private courses the 11th to 18th April.

We are now taking deposits for Norway and Kamchatka 2011, contact the office for more details.

London is good but I can't wait to get back to the mountains of Chamonix and get out on the bike for some more Autumn training.

Winter is definitely on its way!

Neil.

Course updates!

These days are coming!

A quick news piece to notify you all of a couple of late season changes to the McNab snowboarding calendar.

Due to availability problems I have pushed the Norway (Lyngen trip) to next year 2011.

In its place you will now find a 2nd BC Freeride course which I have put on as the first one has filled very quickly and now has only one place available.

At the moment I am toying with the idea of a Greenland trip in place of Kamchatka so if any of you have any interest in either of these destinations let me know asap and I'll weigh up your opinions before making a decision.

Mel has been out for the official hand over of office responsibility! She has headed back to Scotland this morning without her shackles to start her new life of fish supers and deep fried mars bars. If anyone has any messages for her they can send them to me and I'll pass them on.

Just got some of the new TNF kit, if you're looking for a BC pack this season check out the new N.F.Z and Liftie packs. Nice!

Hope you're liking the new site!

The new Web site is on line!

These days are coming!

Ok, so we're up and at em!

The new web site is now on line at www.mcnabsnowboarding.com so check it out!

There's a few little things still to update but its pretty much rockin with all the latest courses, news and a few new bits.

Me and Ruth have been pretty busy in the office getting on top of things since Mel has stepped down but things are going well and the courses are getting pretty booked up already!

Mel has just come out for a visit and a gloat, a non work holiday in Cham, Nice!

It's a beautiful Autumn here in Chamonix, clear crisp days and this morning our first real frost! The peaks are white after a couple of stormy days which adds to the beautiful colour scheme, the Autumn leaves against the red granite and white peaks. Beautiful!

Wow! bit sentimental there but you get the idea.

Got my bike back a couple of days ago and had a couple of great rides out on it. Quite cold today but perfect in the sun and feeling quite strong.

All is good, hope you like the new site!

Neil.

Gulmarg trip details are now on line.

these days are coming soon!

I've just posted the details for the BC Voyager trip to Gulmarg (Kashmir Himalaya) so check them out at www.mcnabsnowboarding.com

There's a lot of interest in this trip and limited places so get in touch if you want to go.

Wow, things are progressing fast!

Ruth is manning the office now so if you have any questions contact her at info@mcnabsnowboarding.com or direct at ruth@mcnabsnowboarding.com

Looks like a busy winter ahead!

Bike still not fixed boo!

All good though and snow down to 2200m

New 3 day Tech clinic 28th - 30th Dec.

These days are coming!

Just a quick one to inform you of a new 3 day technical clinic that I'm putting on for the 3 days of the 28th to 30th Dec (these are the riding days!)

This has come about through demand for Private sessions during this period has increased and so it makes sense to open these 3 days up into a course.

I'm going to keep this course down to 4 riders so there are 2 places available as of now at £465

For more info drop us a line or mail Ruth at info@mcnabsnowboarding.com

More news and updates for 2010!

These days are coming!

Things are pretty hectic in the office here at times at the moment, I'm more of an outdoors sort of person and after 10 years with the business admin, Mel has finally decided its time for her to move on and take a new direction in life, so kind of like a bull in a china shop I've been thrust into the office side of things.

If you've been trying to make an enquiry or booking and have got no were I apologize, but fortunately things are starting to look a bit more organized this week. I've drafted Ruth (my wife) in to sort things out and from now on Ruth will be running the admin side of things and is contactable at the normal e-mail address: info@mcnabsnowboarding.com

Mel is still following up on some of the bookings or enquiries that she had instigated prior to making her decision to step down but for all new enquiries please contact Ruth by e-mail or by phone.

I'd like to say a massive thankyou to Mel for all her hard work over these past years. Her and Arren are obviously taking on some massive life style changes at the moment and I know I speak for everyone who knows her when I say that we all wish her all the best for the future and offer her all the support we can give.

On the bookings front, we have a lot of bookings already for next winter, the brochures haven't even gone out yet and things are getting pretty busy! If you have your name down for a course and haven't made a deposit yet you'll need to do that with out delay as demand is on the increase and we can only hold these spots for a short time before we'll have to give them up.

I have a new McNab snowboarding web site coming on line hopefully at the end of next week!

I'm working on it non stop (unless of course I'm trying to make sense of the booking system or preferably getting out on my bike).

The weather here is amazing at the moment and I did a big bike ride the other day and felt the fittest I've ever been. Unfortunately on the way home my front gear shifter broke and my bike is now out of action until the end of this week! So I may well get the web site finished for the deadline.

I have to say the new site looks wicked!

I posted news on how this years courses and accommodation are going to work on the last news piece so if you've not read that check it out and if you have any questions just send them in.

We should be answering the phones Mon to Friday from 9am until 1pm and picking up and answering e-mails everyday.

More news soon!

Neil.
