Kids' Snow School

“Get your kids on the snow from a young age, and they will grow to be truly at one with their skis or board.” - Stuart Langley, Chill Factore Instructor

Kids' Snow School at Chill Factore specialises in ski and snowboarding lessons for all ages and abilities. Our instructors are trained to the highest standards and are able to adapt their teaching styles to suit the needs of the learner. We all learn at different paces and in different ways after all. If you’re looking for an exhilarating and productive activity for your little ones to get stuck into, perhaps during the school holidays or before starting school for the first time, why not consider our Kids’ Snow School?

Our ski lessons for children allow learners to start from just three years old. They’ll adjust to the snow, get to grips with the equipment and learn to move around comfortably on a flat surface. Following that, they’ll progress onto more advanced, age-appropriate skill development.

How ski lessons for 3 year olds work 

Ski Penguins classes are designed for children at age three. They take place at weekends and the occasional weekday evening, so they’re really accessible and easy to work around. Three-year-olds will learn how to shuffle around on one ski, develop core balance, develop side stepping on a gradient and complete a fun course through Mini Moose Land.

What about ski lessons for 4-year-olds?

From age four, young learners will be able to continue Kids Snow School in Ski Mini Mooses (or Snowboard Husky Pups for those who prefer to learn how to snowboard). These lessons are split over 3 stages and will develop your child’s skills until they are confident on the snow, linking turns and able to control their speed.

Kids can continue to learn in our Kids’ Snow School until they are twelve years old, and sets the groundwork for confident skiing and boarding in adulthood. It also opens up opportunities for snow-based holidays and career development in the future.

Why choose Kids’ Snow School at Chill Factore?

At Chill Factore, our friendly and experienced instructors act as personal mentors out on the snow. We ensure one instructor per six children, which means that development is closely monitored and children are able to ask for one-on-one advice and guidance.

Our aim is to make snowsports fun, accessible to all children and to develop young talent where possible. Although parents and guardians are not able to join us on the snow, you can watch your little ones from our viewing balcony, accessible via the upstairs Bodo & Layke restaurant.
