It’s your first time on snow and you’re ready to have a crack.

‍New to the whole thing? Choice. We’ll keep it simple, fun, and confidence-first. You’ll learn how to move around, control your speed, and make your first turns in a safe beginner area — no stress, just progress.

Let’s work on
  • Getting set up with your gear and stance
  • Sliding, balance and moving comfortably
  • Stopping safely
  • First turns and using beginner lifts/conveyors
Understand your gear
Learn the foundations
have some fun
You've had your first day on snow and are looking to progress your skills and confidence on beginner terrain.

You’re ready to learn controlled confident, turns. You’ve moved past the first-timer wobble, you know how to stop on beginner terrain and you’re building control. This is where things click: controlled confident turns and feeling steady on conveyor terrain.

Let’s work on
  • Turning speed and control
  • Turning foundations (linking direction changes)
  • Balance and body position that actually helps
  • Riding/skiing comfortably on conveyor terrain
Start progressing skills
improve basic understanding
have a little more fun
You’re comfortable on beginner terrain and green runs and ready to build confidence to prepare for easy blue runs.

You can stop and turn with confidence and control on beginner and green slopes, and you’re starting to explore chairlifts and looking at easy blue runs. We’ll help you link turns with more consistency, handle progressively steeper terrain, and feel more in control top to bottom.

Let’s work on
  • Linking turns confidently with control and increasing speed
  • Stopping and speed control on green runs progressing to easy blue runs
  • Chairlift confidence and mountain know-how
  • Tackling progressively steeper terrain
improve control
increase speed
explore more terrain
You’re solid on easy blue runs and ready to step up to more advanced blue runs with more speed and control.

Blues are where it starts getting properly fun. We’ll sharpen your technique, improve your confidence, and help you handle more pitch without feeling rushed. Think smoother turns, better flow, and more confidence as the terrain steps up. It’s not uncommon for people to stay on blue zone terrain for a few sessions to establish good technique and learn about line and terrain tactics, progressing towards red runs.

Let’s work on
  • Stronger turning on steeper terrain while retaining good form and technique
  • Better speed control (without panic braking)
  • Building confidence at higher speeds
  • Technique progress and terrain tactics that sets you up for red zone terrain
improve technique
build confidence
steeper terrain
You can handle difficult blue runs and easy red runs but want be able to ski more of the mountain. Learn to navigate mountain features,off piste areas with confidence and control varying turn sizes for a feel ofmountain mastery. Next stop – black zone terrain!

You can handle most of the mountain, but a little coaching will lift your technique and confidence when things get steeper, bumpier, or more variable. This is where lessons get seriously fun!

Let’s work on
  • Perfect carving on red runs
  • Tackle variable terrain like moguls or mountain features
  • Build off-piste confidence
  • Prepare for black runs
Dial in your technique
Conquer Challenging Terrain
Break Through Plateaus
Now we’re talking performance! You’re comfortable on all terrain and in all conditions but and want to go from good to great and dial up the precision. It’s the realm of Technique Tuneups, Private Coaching and our Performance Programmes.

You’re not here to just get down, you want to ski/ride well in anything the mountain throws at you. We’ll fine-tune technique, tactics, and confidence so you’re stronger on steeps, smoother in rougher snow, and more in control when it gets real. You get here, and people will notice!

Let’s work on
  • Steeps: control, rhythm and commitment
  • Bumps and variable terrain tactics
  • Off-piste confidence and decision-making
  • Technique mastery. You’ll feel great and look great
  • Cleaner, more efficient turns at speed

faqs

What ability levels are lessons suitable for?

Lessons are available for all ability levels, from complete beginners through to advanced skiers and riders.

Beginners can learn the fundamentals in a supportive environment, while intermediate and advanced guests can refine technique, build confidence on steeper terrain or work on more specialised skills. Private lessons and performance camps are particularly popular for experienced riders looking to progress further.

Should I book in advance?

Yes, booking ahead is recommended. Lessons can be in high demand during weekends and school holidays, so reserving your package or lesson early helps secure your spot.

Rentals are not available to book in advance and are issued on a first in, first served basis. However, you can save time by purchasing your rental products online in advance, collecting your MyPass card from Guest Services or our Kiosks then heaind to see our Rentals team on the mountain who will get you fitted and ready for a fun day on the snow.

What will my kids learn in their ski lesson?

Our kid’s lessons cater for all ability levels, so if it’s their first time on snow our experienced instructors will help them learn the basics. If your kids already have some experience our team will help them build their ski or snowboarding skills and confidence.

Are my kids too young to ski?

From age 4 and up, kids can join our group ski and snowboard lessons, where they’ll start learning the basics with other young shredders. Our team knows how to keep things fun, confidence-building, and age-appropriate whether it’s their first time sliding or they’re ready to tackle the beginner slopes.

Private lessons are also available. These one-on-one sessions are tailored to your child’s pace and needs, perfect for those who learn best with individual attention.

And the best part? Kids aged 5 and under ski free. You can purchase a Child 5 & Under Season Pass from our online store or at Guest Services. We also offer child passes for ages 6+ that work across Coronet Peak, The Remarkables and Mt Hutt.

No matter their age or stage, we’re here to help your tamariki fall in love with the snow.

How do instructors keep lessons safe?

Our Snowsports team is made up of certified professionals with top-tier training. Every lesson is structured to match your ability, comfort level, and conditions on the day. We start with clear safety briefings, keep group sizes manageable, and focus on steady progression - from first balance to first carve.

You'll also learn the Snow Responsibility Code along the way, so you're not just riding better, but riding with awareness of others on the mountain.
