Dry Ski Lessons
Why should I have lessons?
To support students who are new to skiing we have organised a series of lessons at Chatham Snowsport Centre. These are aimed at anyone who has not skied before and will develop their basic skills. This includes putting on ski boots and skis correctly, being able to do a basic snowplough, and most importantly, stopping safely. If your son has never skied then I strongly recommend he attends. It's better to learn the basics now, so when you're on the snow you can avoid being stuck on the nursery slopes.
The lessons will be over five weeks in the Autumn and the cost includes ski equipment hire and transport.
If you would like to take part please download the letter attached and respond as soon as possible so we can confirm places.
What should I wear?
When thinking about what to wear on a dry ski slope it is important to remember the matting used is not soft like snow! It's therefore important to cover up and wear things you don't mind getting scuffed or scratched. Old clothes are best.
Make sure you have the following to keep you warm and safe:
Long trousers
Long sleeved top
Thick socks
Gloves
A warm jumper or coat and hat (remember it is November!)
