Choosing the best lesson for you:

Morning Group Lesson (Yellow, Green, Blue & Black)

Start fresh in the morning with a lesson to elevate your skiing for the rest of the day. Our morning group lessons cater to all ability levels and will see you learning alongside others of similar ability in a larger group environment. Group lessons meet at 9.45am and run for two and a half hours to ensure you get the most out of your lesson!

Afternoon Group Lesson (Yellow and Green only)

Get some vertical under your belt and learn from a professional. Our afternoon group lessons will see you learning alongside others of similar ability in a smaller group environment. Available for first timers and beginners only (Yellow and Green), our afternoon lessons meet at 12:45pm with a duration of 2 hours to get you feeling confident on the slopes. Afternoon Group Adult Lessons throughout spring will run with maximum 5 people to provide a more personalised group lesson experience.

*Lessons with two or fewer guests will run for a reduced duration. Lessons will be reduced by 1 hour given the highly personalised instruction that comes with a semi-private or private environment.
