How does it work:
Snowboarding at school
Everything about the Burton Riglet program is great, but the fact that it allows schools to offer snowboarding as a physical education class is beyond great. The beauty of all of this is that any school can access the Riglet Physical Education Program! As long as you have a school gymnasium or a big enough flat surface, your children could be training for the family days on the slopes during their school hours.
