Snowboarding in Slovenia?
Discussion
most resorts in europe can offer decent slopes for learning on. My advice (as I took up skiing at a similar age to your son) is to get him on the dry slope to get the basics.
Main thing regarding resorts is to be sure there will be snow there in great enough quantity. Don't know anything specific about slovenia though, I usually go to France.

Hi
I'm actually half Slovene (although I was born in the UK) and even trying to be objective I can honestly say that it a fabulous place for a vacation.
The countryside is unspoilt with the Alps in the North and lakes and forests in the South. The people are friendly and largly English speaking and everything is incredibly cheap. I've been at least once a year for as long as I can remember and everyone I have recommended it to has had a fantastic time there.
Be sure to check out Ljubljana (an undiscovered Prague!), the lakes at Bled and Bohinj, the caves at Postojna and anywhere in the Alps. Buy the Lonley Planet guide which is the best guidebook and gives a very fair overview of this great place.
Let me know if you need any more info and I'll try to assist. Every bit helps my Nan's economy ;-)

Totally agree with Marco. We went skiing in Slovenia a few years ago, we stayed in Bled by the lake and it was fantastic - I think the Grand Hotel was the one to go for if I remember correctly. The skiing was good, the scenery beautiful, the people friendly and the beer cheap! What more can I say?
