Club Details
Our ski club for local kids is delivered by inspirational coaches who will guide your children through a whole repertoire of skiing. The programme runs on Wednesday afternoons and Saturday afternoons during the off-peak weeks. There’s a total of 30 sessions scheduled and we recommend a minimum of 10 sessions. Choose from one of our multi-session packages or book a single session at a time. For the full season, start with a 20-session package and top up with another 5-session package.
