Lesson Detail:

2 Hour Morning Lesson

A daily lesson program structured to give your students the confidence they need to safely enjoy their time on the mountain.
Our team of qualified instructors will assess the terrain and lifts suitable for each group of students and provide recommendations on where the school group can safely continue to enjoy their skiing and snowboarding once the daily lesson is complete.
Perisher will allocate and confirm lesson times once final ski and snowboard numbers have been received.

Complimentary First Timer Lesson

A 2-hour first timer lesson, including lift access, is offered complimentary on the afternoon prior to the first day of all 5-day packages. Pre-bookings are essential.
This is a great introduction to learn the basics and is not offered to intermediate and advanced students.

First time skiers or snowboarders will have priority access to the earliest available morning lesson times. Lessons may change to a later time from the second day onwards.
Lessons are assigned at a target ratio of approximately 1 instructor for every 10 students, with a minimum of 8 students of the same ability and discipline per instructor.
If your School Group has smaller numbers of students at different ability levels or disciplines, alternative solutions are listed under Booking Conditions 3.1
Should any member of the School Group require special assistance, contact must be made with the Groups Coordinator at the time of booking to make appropriate arrangements.
