Ski Lessons
Learn to Ski, Love to Ski.
Llandudno Snowsports Centre has been teaching people to ski since the mid 1980’s. With a vastly experienced ski school, we offer a range wide of lessons for those on their first steps to those on expert runs. Open practice sessions are available for those skilful enough to go out on their own.
Learn, Practice, Perfect.

Open Practice
Minimum requirement for admission: Level 4
Open practice is admission to the main slope, where you can practice your skills without tuition; this is available to experienced skiers and snowboarders. Available in 1 ½ hour sessions to suit you!
Therefore, you must be able to:
• Use the Ski lifts.
• Control your speed and direction.
• Perform controlled linked turns.
• Be able to stop when required.
If you’re a little short of this standard, have a look at our lesson timetable. We’ll get you up to scratch in no time. We are asking where possible for customers to pre-book open practice sessions either online or over the phone.
Clothing You will be required to wear for all on slope activities:
• Long sleeved clothing
• Trousers
• Gloves or Mittens
We do recommend knee pads for snowboarders and helmets can be worn at your own discretion.
Last admission tickets are sold 1 ½ hours before closing time. All open practice admission prices include equipment hire.
Open practice admission is available throughout the week, but there is sometimes a restriction due to race training or race events.
Adult & Junior Group Ski Lessons
Progress at Your Own Pace with Our Flexible Group Lessons
If you’ve just booked your first Ski Holiday, or simply want to give Skiing a go, start off with our 1 hour introductory ski lesson (Taster Lessons).
And then if you wish to develop your skills even further our 1 1/2 hour Group Lessons will get you sliding down the mountain in no time!
Our structured group lessons enable you to progress through our skill level system with other participants of the same ability. There is a maximum of 12 pupils on each group lesson.
As everyone progresses at a different pace, it is possible a certain lesson may need to be repeated.
Tots Group Ski Lessons
Watch Your Little One Shine on the Slopes!
Our group lesson timetable for tots aged 4-7, enables your child to progress through our structured skill level system with other participants of the same ability. There is a maximum of 6 pupils on each group lesson (1-5).
For instance, to be eligible for Open Practice, a beginner would need to complete levels 1-4. As everyone progresses at a different pace, it is possible a certain lesson may need to be repeated.
With this in mind, save yourself some money and have a look at our 3 Lesson Deal on group lessons.

Questions & Answers
What should I wear?
To take part in a ski or snowboard lesson you must be wearing long sleeves, long trousers and gloves. Clothing really appropriate for the weather in winter including waterproof jacket if the weather is inclement. If it is hot weather then leggings/tracksuit bottoms and long-sleeved t-shirts are perfectly fine to wear.

Can I teach my family and friends how to ski?
Our policy is to utilize our own snowsports school exclusively. This ensures consistent standards and safety protocols for all our customers and team members.
Do I need to wear a helmet?
Helmets are mandatory for those aged 16 and under at the slope. If you are taking part in freestyle sessions or races or race training then a helmet is a must.
What is the minimum age for skiing/snowboarding?
How early should I arrive for my lesson?
How old do you have to be to take part?
We can take children as young as 4 years and up for skiing and children from 9 years and up for snowboarding.
What surface do you have?
We use Skitech Systems Diamond Matting on both our 200m main slope and teaching slope.
