SNOW SCHOOL PROGRAMS

that there is a huge variety of snow school products available to your
group.
Club Ski / Snowboard:
The Club Ski / Snowboard
program is a unique 3-day, tri-area, guiding and instruction course
for any level of skier or rider. Participants ski or ride with the
same small group of people of similar ability levels, and are led
by the same certified instructor over the 3-day program, heading
to each resort over the duration of the program. Experience the best
snow and the best runs suited to your ability, find areas of our
resorts that you might not know exist! Enjoy lift line priority,
group photo, fun race and an optional wind-up dinner.
Note: 3-day programs begin on Sundays or Thursdays only, 9.45am – 3.30pm.
Club Ski Junior:
While you are
with us making new friends, Club Junior is where
your children (ages 6-12) can experience the same
program on their level. Let
us enroll your children into the existing programs at each of the areas
while you enjoy Club Ski. Each day is coordinated to match the
Club Ski schedule and includes lunch.
Note: 3-day programs begin on Sundays or Thursdays only, 9.45am – 3.30pm.
Private Lessons:
Private lessons
truly create the ultimate learning environment.

ski or snowboard professionals & enjoy
guiding & instruction customized just the way you want it whether
it's just for you or private group! Get the most out of your
days on the mountain with personalized private instruction & lift
line priority. Be sure to book your pro in advance, just choose
the date, time & resort & your pro will meet you there!

Catering:

is great for breakfast. For lunch you can choose
between a BBQ or from the many different buffet options
available, and for dinner there is a range of different
menus starting with casual dining all the way up
to deluxe dining options.
Après Ski:
At the end of
a long exhilarating day on the hill there is nothing
more enjoyable than relaxing with a few drinks
overlooking the slopes and reflecting on the day
past. Each of our three resorts
offer beautiful settings for an Après Ski
event, and we can organize a private party for your
group with a huge selection of different hors d’oeuvres
menus and drink options.
