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!

*Lessons with two or fewer guests will run for a reduced duration. Lessons will be reduced by 1 hour given the highly personalised instruction that comes with a semi-private or private environment.

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. Pre-purchase online to save yourself time and money by clicking here.
