Cos winter went too quick, and after the board tests and other summer weeks, this is the perfect way to have one last blast before saving up for next winter!
What is Step-On?
Step-On is an internet magazine run by snowboarders started in 1999. The magazine has a reputation for reporting on events in the truest manner. We started running snowboard camps as we recognised that many camps out there fail to provide a good value and fulfilling camp for their guests. It is also an opportunity to bring our readers and pro riders together and have a blast.
The step-on summercamp weeks are chilled out, with a relaxed fun atmosphere...ride in the morning, then in the afternoons either take it easy with a beer next to the pool or in our hot tub, or if you prefer to stay active there's the skatepark, swimming pools, mountain biking, bungee jumping, tennis, 5-a-side footie, volleyball, golf...all in the blazing July sunshine!

Les Deux Alpes...most snowboarders will already know the resort as one of the best summer snowboarding places on the planet...the snowpark is world class and includes several rows of kickers, 2 halfpipes, rails of all shapes and sizes, boxes...just check out the snowpark plan below!
The town of Deux Alpes is not ugly in the summer like some resorts, but really cool and attractive, with loads going on off the hill too. It is a lively town with plenty of bars, restaurants, and clubs...

Week 1 :: 8th - 15th July 2006 (Sat - Sat)
we have now added a 2nd week due to high demand!
Week 2 :: 15th - 22nd July 2006 (sat - sat)
Designed for those who want to ride jumps, rails, or pipe. Our coaching program is very relaxed and is flexible to what you, the guest, wants to do. The coaches are experienced pro riders who can give you tips on your riding, covering aspects of snowboarding like:
Pipe - everything from dropping in, to getting inverted!
Rails - they intimidate a lot of riders, but they're not as scary as they look, well not all of them!
Jumps/Kickers - the glacier has everything from small to supersize so covers all ability levels, and is perfect for gradually building up to the bigger jumps


Our summercamp is for anyone who likes sun, snowboarding, and partying!
For riders looking to gain confidence with the guidance of pros, the camp is perfect.
Please Note:
Although we expect some riders booking on this week to be of a low ability level with regards to jumps and tricks, a good level of general snowboarding is required to attempt jumps and freestyle, as the terrain is limited to the snowpark area. We suggest that you can already ride at speed comfortably and have good balance and control on your board. If you can already pop and ollie or do small jumps on the piste you are of the right ability to begin riding snowpark. If you are unsure please contact us.
