Our 3 Hour Beginner Group Lessons will kick start your skiing journey. These Lessons are perfect for complete beginners who want to get the most out of one visit whether in preparation for a trip or to just spur you into action.
Snowsports can be very strenuous, particularly when you’re learning. We recommend a good base level of fitness to make the most of the 3 Hour Lessons. A short on-slope refreshment break will take place part way through the lesson.
Beginners Ski Days start at Level 1 and will guide you through 5 hours of instruction, giving you the perfect foundations to continue to develop your newfound skills. Plus, we'll throw in lunch and drinks in our Alpine themed restaurant - The Lodge Bar & Kitchen.
N.B. To get the most out of your visit we recommend the Beginner Ski Days for those that regularly take part in other sports activities.
Private Lessons are a great way to take skiing at your own pace. Whether that’s throwing yourself at it and progressing as quickly as possible, or taking things slowly and mastering each technique before moving on, your instructor will progress the Lesson at the pace you want to go.
If you are at The Snow Centre Level 1 to 4, all or part of your Private Lesson will take place on the Trainer Slope.
If you’ve taken the first step with skiing before and are now able to control a snowplough in a straight line, then Level 2 is for you.

“Having never been skiing before, I booked in for the full-day introductory course. The instructor Richard was extremely patient and allowed me to get to grips with the basics at my own pace. The Snow Centre is a very impressive facility, with the learning slope separate from the main slope so you don't feel under pressure if you are a beginner. Overall I really enjoyed it and would definitely go back.”
“Had a 2 hour adult woman’s group with Alan who is amazing, very patient And explains things in such a simple way you can progress with ease he paid attention to everyone in the class which was lovely ...!!”
“Thank you Julie for your kind hearted gesture this morning of buying a coffee for all NHS workers - it was definitely what I needed ready to face a busy shift! The coffee was lovely - as were you, and I will definitely pop in more often, as it is such a convenient place for a quick pick me up! Thank you!!”
“Huge thanks to Craig,or Carl, sorry can't remember which who was amazing loading sit skis yesterday. Also Beeman with his ever helpful how are you, can I help greetings. Snow really good as well.”
