I had some lessons with Sam at Vivid having only done a few days of snowboarding previously. After only 4 mornings with him I felt really confident on all the different runs and even the more technical stuff. He really takes time to break down your strengths and weaknesses and gets you moving straight away. By the last sessions I felt I had all the tools to go away and work on with proper technique. Sam clearly loves what he does and his passion shines through with his positive outlook. I was slightly (a lot) nervous looking down the first run but he makes you feel really relaxed and takes you through it all step by step. He’s also an amazing guide and knows the mountains like the back of his hand so you should definitely check him out for off piste stuff too. Will be using Vivid in the future when I’m back next year for sure.

Rob and his team really know their stuff... Verbier is an amazing playground but if you don't know where to go you'll never make the most of what's on offer.... Rob took us as a mixed group but managed to scout out some of the best backcountry for both borders and skiers alike. We had an insane two days and despite no recent snowfall, managed to find some of the best lines I'd had in years. Professional, passionate and most importantly fun! Anyone looking to make the most of Verbier should look no further than Rob and his team @ Vivid.
First time trip to Verbier and I booked a guide with Vivid. Everything I read said danger points are everywhere. Sam with Vivid showed up to my hotel and was fantastic. He guided me all over based on my needs and speed. I was a bit cautious on the steeps but with Sam's guidance it was easy to experience everything on the mountain. Plan on going back next year and for sure booking with Sam and Vivid again. Ended up booking for second day so I could experience everything off piste.
Thanks to everyone at Vivid! Ive had one of the best days of my life with then in the backcountry! They are real pros and know the mountain range like no others! My friend took intermediate classes and he has improved so much over the course of 3 days. They are really unbelievable at every level. This is the number one snowboarding school in the number one resort in Europe. Enough said...
I went to Verbier this March for 5 full days of riding and took freestyle lessons with Vivid Snowboarding School. I have 5 years of riding experience but just getting into freestyle. Jan was my instructor who helped me to make visible progress in all aspects of freestyle riding - boxes and rails, overall balance and posture while in the air on straight jumps, showed me a few grabs. He also helped me to take my front side spin from 180 to a firm 270 getting into a full 360. Jan picked my level at the starting point and was doing gradual recommendations for me to improve to get to the final point in the course. We used filming every day which is a big part of the process where a student can see them from the side. This motivates to change certain movements to make riding look decent. Vivid stands out from other schools because they can really teach advanced riding. I recommend this school. If you are in Verbier look no further.
I went snowboarding with the three female snowboard instructors in the Girls Shred they organized in Verbier. From this experience, I can say all of them are absolutely amazing and I have no doubt all of their instructors are. If you have the opportunity to have a lesson with them, please take it, you won’t regret it!
My family and I spent 4 days snowboarding with Sam. It was an amazing experience. Sam made sure that the four of us each got individual time to work through our weaknesses and improve. He also had us snowboard all around Verbier and not just taking the same routes over and over. He also ensured that we spent most of the time actually snowboarding and not just riding the lifts which happens often. He was overall a fantastic coach and really helped us become better snowboarders especially considering we all started off by falling more than riding in the beginning. He was also a genuinely friendly and funny guy who was fun to hangout with. Would highly recommend!!
Excellent experience with our guide Domi, lots of variation and she was excellent value throughout the trip. Nothing was too much to ask. Definitely a 5 star experience
