Can we ski and snowboard in the same lesson?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

No, you must either all ski or all snowboard in the lesson. You can book another instructor if some of your group want to learn a different activity. The instructor needs to demonstrate on the same equipment as you.<\/p>

Everyone learns at a different pace, however the majority of people should achieve a novice level of skiing over a few days. You could have an initial goal of being able to make in control turns down a green slope, off the chair lift, over a 2-3 day period. One half day lesson is insufficient to learn to ski.<\/strong> You will not be taken up the chair lift in that time. \u00a0Full day lessons are best and give you a good chance of progressing to turning on day one, especially if you are a group. Only have one day? Make it a full day private lesson.\u00a0 Good\u00a0learn to ski plan? Book 2-3 full days of lessons.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A very young child needs one on one attention. They often need to be physically supported by the instructor to get started. It is not practical to teach adults to ski at the same time as a small child. So we do not do it.<\/em> You should book a second instructor for your small children, or a child 5 years and under, can be booked into Skiwiland childcare, which includes a \u00a0ski lesson.<\/p>

If you have adult support for the child, (who are not skiing, themselves), then thy can have some learning time with the instructor, and then be cared for while the adults learn separately. This is only possible for full day lesson booking.\u00a0<\/p>

Mixed ages or ability in a lesson can be false economy. Best to have seperate instructors for children and adults.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Yes, we can book in your ski lessons, assign a suitable,\u00a0 experienced instructor. Arrange\u00a0 your ski passes, rental equipment, and private transport. All or part of the above.\u00a0<\/p>

We can invoice you directly, and make all the reservations on your behalf.<\/b><\/p>

Self drive | Ski bus | Private transfers<\/p>\n

Self driving is suitable if you are a confident driver. You must carry chains incase of snowfall. It’s worth practising before you come up the hill, if snow is forecast. Leave town before 7.30 in July. <\/p>\n

You can book the ski bus, but for a 9am lesson you must<\/strong> be booked on the 7.30am bus. In July this gets booked out early in the season.  The ski bus will involve a walk to the snow centre. <\/p>\n

For peace of mind,  and a relaxed start and end to your day, we recommend booking with one of our excellent local private transport companies. Door to door service. Luxury and standard options.  Driver can be on call, and help with your equipment. Day trip add ons and airport transfers also available. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Unless you have made a prior arrangement, you will meet your instructor at the yellow private coaching flag<\/b>. 5 mins before the lesson start time.<\/p>

At Coronet Peak<\/strong> -up the stairs outside, to the right, past the racks, past the trampoline.<\/p>

At The Remarkables<\/strong>– up stairs from inside, in front of ski racks,\u00a0 out on snow.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Lift passes and rental equipment are an extra cost.\u00a0 We can arrange these for you as part of our booking concierge service.\u00a0
We can also reserve high quality rental, ski or snowboard equipment for you.\u00a0 Either picked up in town, or delivered to your accomodation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes! We have instructors who are qualified to teach at all levels, first timer to expert, on and off piste. We can match you with the best person to extend your skills and help you reach your goals. Working on your skills each season is very important for personal enjoyment, injury prevention, and longevity for your future skiing life.<\/p>

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Waterproof outerwear, gloves, eye protection, and helmets are required. Goggles are best, but sunglasses are ok for first timers. Ski helmets are essential -these can be hired as part of your equipment rental. Full ski outerwear clothing can also be hired. (Gloves and goggles cannot be hired).  For our full Snowchaser clothing guide, get in touch by email. <\/a><\/p>
