Snowboarding in Ho Chi Minh City: Learn Right in the City
Want to ski or snowboard in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) before flying abroad? Choiee is the first in Vietnam to help you learn to ski and snowboard from zero (on a simulator). In this first stage you train on an indoor practice slope in Cát Lái, Thu Duc City, while Endless, our own ski simulator machine, is still in R&D. You learn the technique in the city first, then head to real slopes with your instructor.
Is there anywhere to ski in Ho Chi Minh City?
Ho Chi Minh City has no natural snow, so the way to ski or snowboard inside the city is to train on an indoor practice slope. At Choiee you practise stance, balance, turning and stopping indoors while an instructor corrects your form in real time. Our own Endless simulator machine is still in R&D. When you reach real snow, you already know how to ride instead of spending the first day learning to stand.
How the course works
1. Train on the indoor practice slope
Get used to your stance, balance, stopping and turning in a safe setting, with an instructor correcting your form in real time.
2. Move to a real outdoor slope
Once the basics feel natural, your instructor takes you to a real slope to apply what you practised.
Practising indoors first means fewer falls, more confidence and more fun on your first day on real snow.
Who is this course for?
- Complete beginners who have never stood on a snowboard.
- Working professionals preparing for an upcoming ski trip.
- People who have tried before and want to relearn the basics properly.
