My children are different ability levels, can they be together in the same group?

For the best experience we recommend all children go into the appropriate level group, even if this means being apart from their friends or siblings. They will all have lunch together in the Children’s Centre (for Mini Mountaineers) or possibly have lunch together in one of the on-hill restaurants (for Alpine Explorers/ Shredders) and will make friends with their classmates.
​
However, if two children would like to stay together in the same group may do so. In this case, they will be placed into a group of the ability level of the lower child. The stronger level child may find the group a little slow, but their instructor will give them more challenging things to try to continue having fun and improving.
