We can't wait to welcome you back to the slopes in winter 2024! Lift tickets, lessons and rentals will be available closer to the start of the season. Want to be the first to know? Sign up to our newsletters here and never miss a beat! 

Reasons to take a lesson:

Whether you’re new to the slopes or a veteran of your sport, group lessons are a great way to learn, improve or refine your skills. When it comes to skiing and snowboarding, our Snowsports School instructors are your personal trainers, here to elevate you to the next level. Get involved and enjoy these benefits:

  • First class advice in a safe and supportive environment
  • Learn with people of a similar ability
  • Skip lift lines with our priority loading
  • Explore the mountain in ways you've never seen before!

Choosing the best lesson for you:

Morning Group Lesson (Yellow, Green, Blue & Black)

Start fresh in the morning with a lesson to elevate your skiing for the rest of the day. Our morning group lessons cater to all ability levels and will see you learning alongside others of similar ability in a larger group environment. Group lessons meet at 9.45am and run for two and a half hours to ensure you get the most out of your lesson!

Afternoon Group Lesson (Yellow and Green only)

Get some vertical under your belt and learn from a professional. Our afternoon group lessons will see you learning alongside others of similar ability in a smaller group environment. Available for first timers and beginners only (Yellow and Green), our afternoon lessons meet at 12:45pm with a duration of 2 hours to get you feeling confident on the slopes. 

*Lessons with two or fewer guests will run for a reduced duration of 1 hour given the highly personalised instruction that comes with such a small group size. 

What to bring along:

You will need to have a valid Mountain Access Card, with a lift pass and your lesson loaded onto it. Lift tickets can only be purchased online. You will also need to be suited up with your snow gear, helmet, skis and boots or snowboard and boots.
