This gradual progression ensures you feel in control and ready to take on more challenging runs as you improve.

Small Group Sizes

Perisher’s first-timer lessons typically feature small group sizes, which means you’ll receive more personalised attention from your instructor. With fewer people in the group, there’s more time to address your specific needs, answer questions, and provide feedback to help you progress faster. If you’re nervous or unsure about skiing or snowboarding, this one-on-one attention can make a big difference in how quickly you feel comfortable.

Whether you're on your own or with friends and family, joining a group lesson can be a fantastic social experience. You'll meet fellow beginners, share laughs, and cheer each other on as you progress. For first-timers, this shared experience creates a sense of camaraderie and makes your time on the snow even more memorable.
