Lessons
Lessons are a great way to brush up on your skills and get the most out of your classic or skate ski experience! Our instructors are all highly experienced skiers with teaching or coaching experience with the ability to teach from beginner to advanced levels.
How to book a lesson
We book Lessons over the phone for the following 14 days, providing the snow conditions are in good shape. It's important that the snow base is in good shape for a fun and positive learning experience. You will find a description of the different lesson types below.
Due to the demand for lessons we require payment upfront at the time of booking.
Regarding the weather: We dress for all sorts of weather! However, if a weather system moves in that prevents a safe or happy learning experience (freezing rain, for example), we will reach out to you to cancel and do our best to re-schedule.
