Default snowboard in holland

I Want to go in December to Holland,
I would like to know if there is Ski resort there , that can teach
snowboarding .. ?


No real resort as Holland lacks mountains and lacks reliable snow. When
enough snow falls for people to try their snowboard gear outside in the
park it will be on the news, after the item about the total traffic chaos
caused by this snow.

But we do have places where you can learn snowboarding:

- indoor pistes with giant cooling installations causing snow.

- outdoor pistes with plastic brushes doing an imitation of snow.

Both have their pros and cons for learning snowboarding.

An overview can be found at http://ski-banen.startpagina.nl/

This information is all in Dutch for as far as I can see, and most of those
places will have websites only in Dutch.

Are you planning to stay in a certain area of the country?

Oh by the way: the christmas holiday weeks are the weeks most of those
places have special courses for kids or other people going on their first
wintersport holiday and therefore the places will be crowded.
