Who is this for?
Beginners ski lessons are designed for juniors who have little to no experience on skis. These lessons cater for any child eager to learn the fundamentals of skiing in a structured and supportive environment, regardless of prior experience.
Why should you join us?
Children are taught modern techniques from qualified instructors using our equipment. Our slopes surface is very forgiving making it the perfect place for people to start learning and enables them to build confidence at their own pace whilst meeting new friends.
We aim to teach children the fundamentals which covers slope safety for themselves and others, side-stepping, snowplough, controlling speed, being able to stop, snowplough turns, using a drag lift and elements of the ski way code.

What an absolutely amazing Centre! Everyone was so friendly and helpful and it was all so professional. We were really impressed how well run Ski Centre is and the boys loved their lesson (soon to be lessons) It was such great value for money too. Especially seen the quality of the lessons. Thank you to all of you!

Can I recreationally ski?If you are only paying for lessons, then you cannot use the slope for recreational skiing, unless you complete the second stage of your lessons and become a member.

Can I use the freestyle slope?Due to the nature of the freestyle slope, it is for approved users only or those that are participating in freestyle lessons under supervision. Please speak to a member of the team as your ability will most likely have to be assessed before you become a approved user. A correctly fitted helmet must be worn at all times when using the freestyle slope.
