Looking to learn how to ski or snowboard, or just want to have some fun in the tropic heat? Popular all-inclusive resort Club Med is collaborating with Trifecta to launch the Club Med Snow Academy at Trifecta. Also known as the first location in Asia that offers snow, surf and skate all in one place, Trifecta is conveniently located at the city centre in Somerset, a stone’s throw away from the MRT station.
As Club Med is an all-inclusive resort that provides immersive holiday experiences for their guests, this is no different. The Club Med Snow Academy by Trifecta provides ski and snowboarding programs that sees learners pick up skills on how to ski and snowboard in preparation for winter holidays at a Club Med destination.
Once learners enrol into the academy, they will be able to complete sessions that match the levels at Club Med’s ski and snowboarding locations. Once completed, they will receive a certificate endorsed by Club Med and Trifecta, allowing them to hit the slopes confidently during their holiday trip. The program will enable learners to maximise their time by learning ahead so that they can immerse themselves in riding off the slopes during their holiday.

Trying Out The Snowboarding Simulator At Trifecta
We had the experience to scale the slopes at Trifecta. As I had experienced snowboarding in the mountains of Korea, I decided to check out the snowboarding trial to see if it is as close as it gets to the real deal. We collected our gear which included protective knee, hand and elbow guards, making it as safe as it can get. The trainer provided a safety briefing before starting to show us how the simulator works. Thereafter, we took turns to go up the slope to try out the simulator.
I would say that compared to actual snowboarding on the mountains, it is a very no-frills experience that has a rather low learning curve because of its controlled environment. To get up on the slope, one just has to sit and wait for the slope to roll backwards. Even if you do not feel confident about balancing, there are metal poles to hold onto as a safety precaution as you slowly grow used to manoeuvring the snowboard.
The trainers are extremely patient and helpful, constantly looking out and providing tips on how to improve our technique while snowboarding. Even though I was on the simulator for only 15 minutes, I felt that I could snowboard without holding onto the bars for about 5 seconds, and even confidently move to the left and right of the slope without falling.

Sign Up And Try Something New For Your Next Holiday On The Slopes
It was a very fun experience, and I would highly recommend anyone planning to go on a winter holiday trip to brush up your skills before you get started on the actual mountains. Do dress comfortably in a pair of pants that aren’t tight as the activity requires lots of bending to control the boards.
Available till 31st March 2025, it is a great opportunity to sign up for that winter holiday that you have been thinking of and come down to Trifecta for the Club Med Snow Academy experience. If Skiing or Snowboarding is not your thing, Trifecta also offers surfing and skateboarding experiences, as well as an eatery that serves up delicious grub while taking a break.
