Why ski with us
Learning to ski,
done right.
Learning to ski is one of the best feelings going – and our professional instructors are genuinely obsessed with the sport. From first-time tasters to advanced freestyle and race coaching, we’ve got tuition dialled in for every level. Over the years we’ve had thousands of people clicking into skis for the first time right here.
Heading off on a winter holiday? Most beginners need around six private lessons to reach the standard to ski our slopes confidently – and that’s a brilliant head start before you hit the mountain. You’ll get far more out of your trip with the skills to explore with confidence (and it’s a sneaky way to get fit before you fly). Already skiing? Refresher, Freestyle and Race Squad sessions keep you sharp.

From your first snowplough to dropping the park or carving race lines, we cater for every standard of skier. Here’s roughly where you’ll fit – and where we’ll take you next.
01 · First-timer
Never skied
Clicking in for the first time. We’ll get you sliding, stopping and turning – the snowplough foundations that make it all click.
02 · Improver
Linking turns
You can stop and steer; now you want flow. We’ll smooth out your turns, build control and get you confident on steeper pitches.
03 · Advanced
Parallel & carving
Skis together and hungry for more. Dial in clean parallel carves, short turns and the technique to ski anywhere on the mountain.
04 · Freestyle & race
Park & gates
Jumps, rails and race gates. Coached freestyle and race-squad progression to take your skiing further – safely.
This is the feeling
Find your
flow.
The first linked parallel, the hum of a clean carve, the buzz after a session that just clicked. That’s why we ski – and it’s closer than you think. Book in, click in, and go chase it.
On the slope
The real thing.
Good to know
Before you click in.
Comfy clothes you can move in: long sleeves, long trousers (joggers or tracksuit bottoms rather than tight jeans), long socks and gloves – anything that covers your fingers. Forgot your gloves? Grab a pair at reception. Old clothes are ideal, and bring waterproofs if rain’s on the way.
Roll in about 15 minutes before your session starts. That gives you time to get your boots fitted, meet your instructor and hit the slope right on time rather than rushing.
A maximum of six per group lesson, so there’s plenty of coaching to go round. Want it just you (or you and a mate)? Go for a private lesson instead.
Sessions run whatever the sky’s doing. Here’s the secret: the Proslope surface actually runs faster and smoother when it’s wet – so a bit of rain is no bad thing. Just bring waterproofs and you’re golden.
Tasters start from age 5 and group lessons from age 8; private lessons start from age 4. Younger skiers are looked after through our Kids & Junior Academy sessions, grouped by age and ability.
The lot: skis, boots and helmet are all provided, and a friendly instructor runs the whole session. You just turn up in the right clothes – everything technical is sorted.
Easiest way is straight through our online booking system – pick your session, see live availability and times, and you’re set. Prefer a chat? Call the team on 01202 499155. During peak season (December–March) we get very busy, so around 3–4 weeks’ notice in Jan–Feb is wise – last-minute cancellation slots do pop up, so it’s always worth a look.
Plans shift – we get it. Full payment is taken at the time of booking. Give us at least 24 hours’ notice and we’ll happily move you to another session. We don’t do refunds, but we can issue a voucher as long as that notice is given.
