First snow beginner class

First time on the snow, turns out I can actually do it!

For your first time skiing, it's tempting to think you can just tag along with mates who already know how. But when you can't stand up, stop, or control your speed on the snow, you'll end up spending the whole day face-planting. It's a waste of a precious holiday and an expensive lift pass, and you're highly likely to hurt yourself or pick up bad habits that are real hard to break.

This beginner's private lesson is the perfect way to get your basics sorted. Your instructor will guide you step-by-step through everything: from putting on your gear, staying balanced on the snow, controlling your speed, and stopping, right through to your very first chairlift ride and riding all the way down. Lessons are mainly taught in Mandarin, with Cantonese and English also available, so you can learn in a language you're comfortable with and make the most of your time on the snow. To keep things fair, adults and kids are placed in separate groups based on their skill level.
