Love Inc Snowboard Social Week: Turning New Faces into Lifelong Friends in Serre Chevalier
Every winter, something special happens in the French Alps. A group of snowboarders from different places, backgrounds, and riding styles come together for a week of mountain adventures, shared meals, and unforgettable nights out. By the end of the week, the group feels less like a collection of individuals and more like a crew that’s known each other for years.
That’s the spirit behind the Love Inc Snowboard Jibber Jabber Social Week, held in the incredible resort of Serre Chevalier and hosted by the welcoming team at Snowed Inn Chalets.
It’s a week built around snowboarding, community, and the simple idea that great friendships often start on the chairlift.
The Idea Behind the Week
The concept was created by Jimmy Shaw, founder of Love Inc Snowboard. After years in the snowboard scene, Jimmy noticed something many riders eventually experience: life starts getting busier.
Friends get married, people move away, families grow, and suddenly the big snowboard trips that used to be easy to organise become harder to pull together.
Rather than letting that social side of snowboarding fade away, Jimmy decided to create something new—a week where like-minded riders could come together, share the mountain, and build new friendships.
The Love Inc Social Week is perfect for solo travellers, small groups of friends, or anyone who loves snowboarding but doesn’t always have a crew to ride with.
Everyone arrives as new faces, but by the end of the week it feels like you’ve been riding together for years.
A Week Built Around Riding and Good Times
Set in the vast terrain of Serre Chevalier—one of the largest ski areas in Europe—the week offers everything you need for an unforgettable snowboard trip.
Guests stay in comfortable chalet accommodation run by Snowed Inn Chalets, where relaxed evenings, great food, and hot tubs create the perfect environment to unwind after a day on the mountain.
The week includes:
-
Fully catered chalet accommodation
-
Lift pass for the full week
-
Airport transfers
-
Outdoor hot tubs for post-ride recovery
-
Group riding and mountain exploration
-
Après-ski, parties, and social events
- Ride with pro snowboarder Tyler Chorlton
Mornings begin with a hearty breakfast and plans for the day’s riding. Groups head out to explore everything the mountain has to offer—from long cruising pistes through the larch forests to powder hunting after fresh snowfall.
By the afternoon, the hot tubs are bubbling, stories from the day are flowing, and plans for the evening start to take shape.
Level up your riding with Pro Snowboarder Tyler Chorlton
For the whole week snowboard royalty Tyler Chorlton will be there to hone your skills and give you advice, or just cruise around and enjoy the mountains.
More Than Just a Snowboard Holiday
What really makes the Love Inc week special is the atmosphere. Because many guests arrive on their own or in small groups, everyone is open to meeting new people and sharing the experience together.
Chairlift conversations turn into riding buddies. Chalet dinners become long evenings filled with laughter. Nights out in the resort quickly become legendary.
By midweek, the group dynamic changes. The new faces you met on day one are suddenly your crew—planning runs together, sharing powder stashes, and making the most of every moment in the mountains.
And for many people, those connections don’t end when the week does.
Building a Global Snowboard Community
At its core, the Love Inc Snowboard Social Week is about keeping the community spirit of snowboarding alive.
It’s about creating a space where people can reconnect with the social side of the sport—meeting riders from around the world, sharing experiences, and building friendships that last far beyond a single trip.
Many guests come back year after year, while others leave with new friends they’ll meet again on mountains somewhere else in the world.
Come for the Snowboarding, Stay for the People
By the end of the week in Serre Chevalier, the group photo says it all. What started as a gathering of new faces has turned into a tight-knit crew.
That’s the magic of the Love Inc Snowboard Social Week.
A week of riding, partying, relaxing in hot tubs, and making the kind of friendships that keep people coming back to the mountains year after year. 🏂❄️🍻
