Whether you've skied Heavenly Valley for years or you're planning your first snow trip, Hotham's Snowsports School has lessons for everyone. Booking everything can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. Don't worry, we understand! We've made a quick guide to help you make the most of your time skiing or snowboarding with a lesson.*
Which statement best describes you?
It’s my first-time skiing or snowboarding: Are you new to skiing or snowboarding? No need to worry. We all started like that. Try our Adventurer Beginner Bundle (for ages 15+)! This lesson will help you get comfortable on your gear so you can start making turns. It includes a beginner lift ticket, 2-hour lesson and optional equipment hire.
I’ve been skiing or snowboarding for years, but don't feel like I’m getting better: Even expert skiers and snowboarders can learn in lessons. If you feel stuck, that's normal. Just a few tips and small technique changes can make a big difference to your turns. We suggest a Private Lesson. This is the perfect chance to focus on YOUR skills so you can glide down Heavenly Valley in style.
Hot tip: If you have some friends that are about the same skill level as you, you can split with mates and save.
I’ve skied or snowboarded a few times, but don’t feel very confident: Maybe you've just finished the beginner slope on Summit and want to try new areas. Or maybe you know the runs you like and want to explore steeper lines. Group Lessons could be perfect. They're a great way to meet new people of similar skill level. And if you're staying a while, you can book any 5-day Adult Group Lessons and only pay the 4-day price!
Just think of how much you could improve in a whole week!
We’re taking the kids up for the holidays: Want some time alone on the slopes? Or want your kids to get better so they can ski with you? We have lesson options for young kids and the big kids too! Mighty Mites is for 3–6-year-olds who ski. Kids Club is for 7–14-year-olds who ski or snowboard. These lessons can be full day or half day to fit your family's snow adventure. Plus, book any 5-day full-day kids lessons and only pay the 4-day price!
It’s a girl's trip! We want to progress our skiing or snowboarding: Join one of our female-only ski or snowboard programs. Learn from our top female instructors in a friendly environment with like-minded people. Spots are limited, with programs only running on select dates in July and August. Don't miss this chance!
