Windsor Park Nordic Centre Ski School 2018-2019

Learn to Ski - Group lesson sets

Group lessons are 90 mins long, once per week, for 4 weeks.

Students in our group lesson must be at least 15 years old. If you are looking for lessons with your children please choose our Family lesson option or consider a local Jackrabbits program for your youngsters.

What type of skier are you?

  • New skier : You have never skied before or have skied very few times. When on skis you find yourself falling down more than gliding forward.
  • Beginner: You are also also ‘balance-challenged’ like the new skier above but just a little less so. You still need those poles to get from a to b. You feel uncomfortable on gentle slopes.
  • Intermediate: You are comfortable on skis, able to balance and glide on one ski for a short distance whilst gliding forward without poles. You can stay in control on moderate descents.
