Level 1 Ski Group Lessons

If you’re new to skiing, joining our group sessions is the best way to get started. Learning in a friendly and sociable environment with others who are also learning makes the experience less daunting.

You don’t need to worry about being a beginner, everyone in the group is new to skiing. The lessons are only 2 hours daily, which means you’ll still have plenty of time to ski with your friends and family, so you won’t miss out on anything.

Learning from a professional instructor is the fastest way to progress, and they have years of experience and tips for dealing with challenges and selecting the right terrain for your ability. Remember, lessons are the key to having a great first experience on skis.

What to Expect From a Beginner Ski Lesson

When you arrive for your first lesson, an energetic and friendly instructor will greet you, making you feel at ease and excited about the experience. During a group lesson, you and the other beginners will spend a few hours each day learning to put on your gear, get up the hill, and slide back down while controlling your speed and direction. As the days pass, you will move onto more challenging terrain and begin to explore new techniques. The aim for the end of the week is to be up and moving, feeling in control and more confident.

Timeline

  • Meet your instructor at the meeting point
  • Learn how to use your new ski equipment and get comfortable with it.
  • Learn proper technique from day one so you don’t build bad habits and stay safe on the mountain.
  • Instruction from a qualified instructor who will inspire you to ride like a pro.
  • An environment where you’ll feel safe and build confidence
  • Insider knowledge from the instructor who knows the local mountain well. They can share things such as the best pistes for your ability.
  • A friendly, social atmosphere for other first-timers so you can learn at your own pace.
  • Coffee break?
  • And a few laughs (we hope!)
  • Practice new skills
  • Explore new terrain
  • End the lesson at the meeting point
What To Expect Beginner Lessons

Tips for Beginner Ski Lessons

  • Ensure you’ve comfortable boots that fit well and are the right size.
  • Ensure your skis are in good condition and serviced (this should be done by the hire shop.)
  • Learning a new skill can be tiring, regardless of age or ability. Take breaks, as your legs will tire.
  • Mileage and confidence are key for new skiers. So, practice outside your lessons. Start on terrain you feel good on. Then, gradually increase the difficulty. Ensure you have solid foundations. Then, take on new skills and steeper, harder terrain.
  • If something knocks your confidence, try again the next day. Don’t give up. If you’d prefer coaching for one person, we recommend booking a private lesson. You will get more time with the instructor to receive personalised feedback.
  • Ensure you arrive at least 10 minutes early to the meeting point so lessons run on time.

What to Bring

  • Skis
  • Wear ski boots
  • Ski poles
  • Lift pass
  • Wear appropriate clothing – warm and waterproof jacket and trousers
  • Wear a helmet
  • Goggles or sunglasses
  • Gloves
  • Suncream
  • Cash for a drink / and a snack in your pocket

Testimonial Piste Performance Courses

“Ski school of choice. We always have a great experience with New Generation. Instructors are without exception fun and kind. Communication is good and ski groups adapt during the week so everyone finds their right level.”

“I recently completed my first skiing trip in Meribel and had an amazing time, mostly due to the Level 1 group ski lessons I had with New Generation. Our instructor Marco was patient and took the time to give encouragement and advice to each student individually.”

“Service was great and our instructors Marco and Vanessa in La Tania were amazing. Made us feel very relaxed at different level of lessons. Would certainly book with New Gen again.”
