Improve your skiing skills on the UK’s longest real snow slope. The full-day course is fun and extensive, so you’ll need good core strength and stamina to make the most of it.
You’ll progress from the lower section of the main slope to the very top. During your improver ski lessons, you will learn to perfect your snow plough turns, and develop the plough parallel technique whilst controlling your speed, so you can ski down the full slope confidently and consistently. Whether you join one of our group lessons, or opt for a Main Slope Private Lesson, all of your equipment hire (skis, helmet and boots) is included in your lesson price.
Remember that your lesson includes boots, skis, poles and a helmet! To see more information on things to know before you arrive, see our things you need to know section

It depends on how much experience you already have. Our ski lessons accommodate skiers of different levels. If you already have some experience then maybe levels 2 or 3 are ideal for you.
