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.

From mastering skiing fundamentals to confidently navigating the mountains, our club focuses on building skills and boosting confidence in a fun and safe environment. Through games, hands-on activities, and guided adventures, your child will develop a full repertoire of skiing skills, including the following milestones:

  1. Skiing Foundations: Master the perfect posture, movement, and balance.

  2. Turning: Master how to get performance from the skis in short and long GS carve turns.

  3. Speed Control: Learn how to manage speed and how to find speed on and off-piste.

  4. Mountain Navigation: Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

  5. Safety & Avalanche Training: Essential mountain rules, rescue skills and avalanche protocol.

Good to know

  • Children must be able to ski confidently on red runs, turning with parallel skis, and be able to carry their own equipment. This ensures that participants can keep up with the group and safely participate in all activities.

  • The club is open to children aged 7 and up.

  • Yes, children can join partway through the season, but we recommend calling us at +44 1483 616 522 before booking to ensure they are placed in the correct group and can integrate smoothly.

  • No, we do not provide food. Please pack snacks and water for your child, as the 3-hour sessions can be physically demanding.

  • Children must have their own skis, poles, boots, helmets, and appropriate ski clothing. They should be able to carry their own gear as part of their independence training. We will provide equipment for the avalanche training sessions. This equipment will be required for those children skiing off-piste, this will be communicated in advance.

  • Safety is our top priority. If the weather makes skiing unsafe, we may postpone or cancel the session. We will notify parents as early as possible if there are any changes due to weather conditions.

  • To ensure a personalised experience, we keep group sizes small, typically around 6-8 children per coach, allowing for more individual attention.

  • The program covers various skiing skills, including posture, balance, turning, speed control, navigation on and off piste, safety protocols, avalanche training, and freestyle techniques such as using the snowpark and half-pipes. We have a season long course curriculum to share with the parents.

  • If your child cannot attend a session, please let us know in advance. Refunds or rescheduling are typically only offered for sessions canceled due to weather or other unavoidable circumstances.

  • Our coaches are fully trained in first aid, avalanche safety, and mountain rescue. Each child will receive training on how to be safe on the mountain, including learning about the ski rules and how to help in an emergency.
