Kids are always looking for exciting new hobbies and what could be cooler than learning to ski?

Chill Factor^e offers an uber cool Junior Ski Academy for children aged 6-12 years, which provides skiing tuition with friendly and experienced instructors. Please note, children below the age of 6 will be asked to join the Infant Academy for Health and Safety reasons.

Our academy runs at the weekends and are available to all children - from complete beginners through to those at championship level.

It’s a great way for kids to learn new and exciting skills and of course, have something cool to talk to their mates about on Monday mornings. Our academy is also a great activity for half term and school holidays, keeping the kids learning whilst having fun.

Our aim is to make skiing fun, accessible to all children and to develop young talent where possible.

It’s not too dissimilar to learning to swim, whereby children will learn in Levels (1-6), and will be split into groups, based on their ability.
