Group Skiing Information

Please read the information below carefully before your visit.

What happens during the session?

These sessions are designed primarily for beginners, with participants learning together at the same level.

Sessions begin on the flat area of the slope, where instructors introduce the fundamentals of skiing, including balance, movement, and basic ski control. As confidence develops, the group will progress onto the slope.

Sessions follow the same structured pathway as our standard lessons, progressing through the foundations of skiing step by step.

For larger groups, participants may be split by ability where possible to help everyone get the most out of the session.

What should participants wear?

Participants should wear:

• Long sleeves
• Full-length trousers or jogging bottoms
• Gloves
• Thick socks

Please note:

• Leggings or tights worn on their own are not suitable
• Shorts or ¾ length trousers are not suitable
• Ski gloves are often very warm and can become uncomfortable in typical UK conditions

The slope is mist-lubricated, so participants may get wet. A change of clothes is strongly recommended.

Do participants need previous skiing experience?

No previous skiing experience is required.

For the best experience, we recommend groups are made up of participants of a similar ability level, ideally complete beginners.

What level will the session be taught at?

Sessions are always taught at the level of the least experienced participant.

This ensures all participants can progress safely and confidently together.

What happens if some participants have skied before?

Where possible, we recommend organising groups by ability level, similar to how ski schools operate in mountain resorts.

If only a small number of participants have skied before, they will remain with the beginner group for the session.

For larger groups where there is a more even split of abilities, participants may be divided into separate groups where possible.

How many instructors will there be?

Groups are typically run with approximately 8–10 participants per instructor, depending on the group type and session structure.

What time should we arrive?

Groups should arrive a minimum of 30 minutes before the session start time to allow for sign-in and equipment fitting.

Larger groups may require additional time.

How long are sessions?

Group ski sessions are available in:

• 1 hour
• 1.5 hour (recommended)
• 2 hour formats

What equipment is provided?

We provide:

• Skis
• Boots
• Helmets

Will participants go to the top of the slope?

Not usually during a first session.

Sessions follow the same structure as our standard ski lessons, with progression based on confidence, ability, and group pace.
