How are group lessons organised?
Super 6 Adult Groups
Our team of instructors will welcome you at the on-snow meeting area and ask about your general skiing/ snowboarding ability level and goals for your program. They will then recommend the best group for you to join from Level 1 (first time) to Level 5 (advanced).
Mini Mountaineer Groups
Our team of instructors will welcome children joining Mini Mountaineers inside our Children’s Centre and check their general skiing ability level. They will then join children into the most appropriate group to join from Level 1 (first time) to Level 5 (advanced). If children seem to be in an incorrect group, our instructing team will communicate with each other to ensure they are in a group most suitable to allow them to progress. Mini Mountaineers features a maximum of 5 children per instructor.
Alpine Explorer and Alpine Shredders Groups
Our team of instructors will welcome children at the on-snow meeting area and check their general skiing/ snowboarding ability level and goals. They will then allocate children into the most appropriate group to join from Level 1 (first time) to Level 5 (advanced). If children seem to be in the wrong group, our instructing team will communicate with each other to ensure they are in a group most suitable to allow them to progress. Alpine Explorers features a maximum of 8 children per instructor and Alpine Shredders features a maximum of 6 children per instructor.
