LESSONS

1. Arrive at your lesson package start time and collect your lesson pass at the Ticket Office.

2. Head to the rentals building and get to know your gear. Our team will be there to find the right fit and set everything up for you. (This part of the package is not supervised by an instructor. Children under 13 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian during this time.)

3. Meet your instructor and the rest of your group. You will all head up together to your lesson area.

4. Begin with a 45 minute skills session focusing on the foundational skills of skiing. This session will introduce the equipment and hill safety as you start learning how to stop in a snow plough. 

5. Enjoy a 30 minute play and learn break. 2 hours on the snow can be a long time for little ones so this is a chance to refresh your mind with some fun games led by your instructor.

6. Finish with another 45 minute skill session continuing to work on those snow plough stops. 

If you master the snow plough stop, you may even get to ride the magic carpet and put your skills to the test down the slope.

4. Enjoy your 2 hour lesson on the hill. Your instructor will start by introducing the equipment and hill safety. If you are in a ski lesson you will be  learning how to stop in a snow plough. For snowboarders it will be all about learning to use your edges and working up to performing a falling leaf.

If you master the snow plough stop or falling leaf, you may even have some time to ride the magic carpet and put your skills to the test down the slope.

Day 1 – Saturday:

1. Arrive at your lesson start time and collect your lesson pass from the Ticket Office. Head over to the Ski & Snowboard Rentals building, where our team will help you get fitted with your gear. Once you’re ready, you’ll meet your instructor and the rest of your group for your first lesson.

2. Start with an introduction to the basics of skiing or snowboarding, including how to use your equipment and essential safety tips. Your instructor will guide you through learning foundational skills like moving around on the snow and stopping in a snow plough (skiing) or using your edges (snowboarding).

3. Return your gear to the Rental shop. Mention you are part of the Weekend Warrior program and our team will keep your gear aside, ready for the next day.

Day 2 – Sunday:

On Sunday, you’ll return with the same group and instructor* for your follow-up lesson. This gives you the chance to continue working on your skills and progress at a comfortable pace.

1. Collect your gear from Ski & Snowboard Rentals to be ready for your class

2. Building on what you learned the previous day, you’ll focus on refining your technique and gaining confidence on the snow. Your instructor will adjust the lesson to ensure everyone makes the most of the session.

*While we will make all efforts to have the same instructor for both lessons, there may be times where this is not possible and another of our wonderful instructors will lead the group for the second day.

1. Arrive at your lesson package start time and collect your lesson pass from the ticket office. Make sure to let our team know you’re here for the Sensory Ski Class.

This time is supervised to ensure everyone is comfortable with their equipment, and you’ll have the chance to meet the other participants in your group, which is limited to just 4 people. During this time the building will be quiet due to this class being the first one of the day.

3. After gearing up, you’ll spend 30 minutes indoors in a warm, quiet space. Your instructor will guide you through how to clip into your skis and explain everything at a comfortable pace.
