Private Lesson Recommendations

Guests in private lessons are required to be of the same discipline and roughly the same ability level.

Guests in private lessons should be roughly the same age to ensure everyone has the optimal chance of progression. See below the age ranges recommended for the same lesson:

Children aged 3-to-6-years old
Children aged 7-to-14-years-old
Adults aged 15+ years old
- Children aged 3-to-6 years old and adults (15+) are not recommended to be in the same lesson, due to different learning requirements and physical capabilities.

The Snowsports School understands the desire to join a private lesson as a family. However, please consider the instructor will have to cater to the lowest ability level and/or the youngest guest. This is to ensure everyone's safety during the lesson.

For guests that have booked 8.30am private lessons, Halley's Comet Quad Chair opens at 8:15am for you to access Cloud 9. All guests that have booked 8.30am private lessons will need to collect their rental equipment the night before.

Meeting Area

Your private lesson will commence opposite Cloud 9, which is located at the top of Halley's Comet Chairlift. When you leave the chairlift, you will see a red sign on the left of Mouse Trap that reads Private Lesson Meet Here. Your Instructor will meet you there, ready to go!

We recommend that you allow at least half an hour to line up for Halley's Comet chairlift. You will also need to be suited up with your snow gear, helmet, and ski or board equipment. If you require rentals, it is highly recommended that you organise this at least the night before your lesson to save you time, especially on weekends.
