Junior Ski Lessons

Junior Ski Lessons

The Snow Centre is temporarily closed following Government Tier 4 guidelines.

When we re-open we'll be offering a range of snowsports activities to enjoy, whether you're prepping for a trip to the mountains or you want to keep your ski legs going closer to home. 

  • Group Ski Lessons available for 7 years+.
  • Private Lessons available for 3 years+, designed for individuals or groups of Family & Friends. 

Select your junior's current ability from the Levels below to find the lesson that’s right for them.

In Group Lessons your junior will be joined by others of the same experience or ability as them, or if they're a beginner they'll be joined by others who've never set foot on the slopes! With reduced capacity, there'll be a maximum of 5 participants in a lesson giving your child more sliding time.

Included in all our Lessons:

  • 1 Hour Slope Pass
  • 1 Hour of Instruction
  • Skis, boots & helmet hire

The word from the slopes

  • “Love it here. Great slope and the staff are really friendly. Also love the Alpine bar and viewing area. So pleased to have it back.”

  • “Incredible welcome and help from the staff! First trip back since before lockdown and it was well worthwhile. Lovely welcome and talk through the new set up. Then my son had an issue with his own kit and the guys couldn’t have been more helpful - very kind and very knowledgeable. The snow as good as ever and the cafe a good finish to a great time. Thank you all!”

  • “The Hemel ski centre has a great atmosphere, the instructors are friendly and helpful, it’s just an all round really well run place”

  • “Had a great time at the snow centre, went once before lockdown and was good to be back. I had a one on one lesson which was good but went too quickly. I’ll try to book two lessons on the same day so I can keep up with progress. It was all well managed and seemed to have good Covid measures in place.”
