Our sixty metre dry slope is open year round. It has an electric lift and has been designed for beginners with a large run out area. One hour will give you enough control to negotiate your first slalom course!
Avoid the queues and get a solid start on our easy slope.
Our Instructors are accredited by BASI and operate using their guidance. Our Instructors also follow the snowsport awards scheme. The concept of the awards is to try to encourage snowsport participants to explore movements, sensations, terrain and sliding equipment safely, whilst having a lot of fun developing the skills and independence which will help them really enjoy snowsports all over the mountain. There are nine levels in the scheme, plus two levels for the 5s and under (called the fun awards). These awards aim to give our clients greater incentives to come back and make progress, especially at the intermediate phase. Using the awards we can help our clients to enjoy all this safely and in a fun and exciting way. It is up to us our snowsport instructors to be at the forefront of these movements. Our instructors aim to be open to new ideas, experimental with their own performance excited and enthusiastic about what they do.
We use the scheme to encourage children and adults; to help them to realise their goals and potential, whether they take a week a year in the mountains or want to compete in the Olympics.
Always look for the BASI kite mark as this is your guarantee to a good lesson what ever slope and ski school you go to we all teach the same way!
Cairngorm 20mins, The Lecht 70mins, Nevis Range 90mins.
Come for a week or weekend and enjoy the same relaxed atmosphere in a different season. Our ski slope and centre are open year round, you can stay in the log cabins, relax in our beautiful Loch side restaurant in between practice sessions just outside on the ski slope ,which can be viewed from the bar area.
We are not tied to any particular resort although we tend to take skiers to Cairngorm the biggest resort in Scotland as it’s the closest.
However if the weather changes we will still be skiing as we can go to a different resort based on the weather. Failing that we can use the artificial slope at Loch Insh meaning you have guarenteed skiing what ever the weather book with us and we will make sure you get out on the slopes.
Our groups are specifically tailored to suit your needs so class sizes and adults and kids groups are all matched to your ability and numbers in your party.
Snowboarding throws you in at the deep end, like learning to ski with your feet tied together!
Of course you’re going to fall over, but….. you learn quickly too.
Rest assured after a week you’ll be hooked.
Many of our staff are dual discipline, meaning they will teach either skiing or boarding. Not sure what to try?, come for a few days and try a bit of both, you can book in as with all the other activityies by the hour, day or week, you decide.
