Beginner

Going away on your first snow holiday, or looking to just have some fun?

Beginner Series (1,2,3,4)

All four classes are an hour and a half each.

 

Our Ski Beginner Lessons are the perfect starting point to get a feel for the slopes. 

 

You will be in safe hands with one of our friendly, fully-qualified instructors, who will help you build a solid foundation of fundimental skiing skills to enable you to enjoy your first holiday or simply to experience a new sport. These classes start on our new Snowflex Slopes (a smooth and easy skiing surface) with easy-to-use stand-on travellator lifts. By the end of the four-class series, skiers will have progressed to our intermediate slope and start to use more advanced button ski lifts.

 

This series will equip beginners with the basic skiing skills to permit confident and controlled ise of easy ski slopes in most ski resorts. These classes include introduction to ski equipment, manoeuvrability, controlled descent and basic turning and stopping. All equipment and techniques are exactly the same as you will experience on snow and the dynamic balancing skills you will develop cannot be replicated on any other ski surface in Ireland.

 

 

Classes in the beginner series are run on most nights of the week as well as weekends. We also run intensive weekend classes for those who would like to complete the series in a shorter timeframe. There are 4 Classes in the Beginner Series and in order to enjoy and get the most from your skiing experience we recommend that clients enrol for the full series. As people progress at different rates we find that the greatest satisfaction comes from those who complete the series (apart from overall better value!).   

EQUIPMENT - FREE OF CHARGE!!! We provide skis/snowboards, boots and poles for classes and practice sessions at NO extra cost. Just bring warm clothes, a pair of gloves and a sense of adventure.
