Absolutely fabulous. My daughter thinks Joad is the best teacher. She has loved learning to snowboard.

The experience was great but their customer service was slow to respond. I like the facility and the coaches seem knowledgeable. I like how I can see myself on the screen. I can’t wait to see how what I learned translates on the slopes.

Not the typical indoor slope user (expert skier who's done every kind of lesson/drill/clinic that's out there), but I've found the setup and instruction at Adventurous to be fantastic so far. It's basically a controlled version of snow skiing with much more friction, so every weakness in your form and technique is amplified 10x. Basically, snow sliding in slow motion. I'm finding it invaluable to prep myself for snow season AND to explore movements/drills that would usually be too risky or potentially injurious to use on the snow. Also, huge shoutout to the instructor, Joad Stein. He deeply understands technique, progression, and how to adapt training to the individual user & background. I've trained with some of the best in skiing and he's absolutely at the elite level instruction & understanding-wise. Super enjoyable getting prepped and bouncing ideas off him, and I'm looking forward to the continuous improvement to come adding Adventurous to my ski prep regimen!!! I'd recommend it to everyone from complete novices to expert ski racers. It's that valuable (and far cheaper/less painful than the same experience up on the snow). Get your instruction out of the way in SF, then ENJOY and SHRED up in the snow!

Very spacious place. The slope is wide, equipment is new, and the instructor is nice and professional. Highly recommended!

I had a disappointing experience with Adventurous Sports regarding their refund policy. I canceled my ski lesson in advance, expecting a fair refund, but they deducted 20%, citing "merchant fees and operational costs." While I understand businesses have expenses, credit card processing fees are a standard part of running a business and are typically built into pricing—not passed onto customers in the event of a cancellation. Their reasoning for discouraging "Amazon-style" refunds felt unfair, especially since they could have resold the lesson. Transparency is key in customer service, and I was not informed of this fee at the time of booking. If you're considering booking with them, I recommend clarifying their refund policies in advance. I won’t be returning due to this experience.
