Glasgow Ski and Snowboard Centre

Instruction

After 25 years of experience we have built up a team of first-rate fully-qualified ski and snowboard instructors. We offer group or private lessons at a wide range of levels — from instruction for absolute beginners wishing to get full value from their first ski holiday, to master classes for hardened veterans wanting to hone their technique. We cater for adults and children separately, run special ladies-only classes for those who prefer this, and can organize instruction for youth and corporate groups.

Group Lessons

For beginners, a 6-week structured group of lessons is designed to endow the basic skills. At all other levels instruction is in 5-week blocks. Each lesson lasts an hour, and is taken at the same time each week. Where possible we try to maintain the same instructor for a block of lessons. At the end of any block there is the option to book on with the same group to the next level, providing that a minimum number wish to continue. Group lessons take place midweek evenings, Monday to Thursday, and on Saturday and Sunday Mornings. They are available from September to June.

Rates are for five weekly group lessons, and include all equipment.
New members are entitled to one free set of lessons on joining.
Minimum age for group lessons is 6 years for skiing, 8 years for boarding.

Private Lessons

Private lessons may be booked at a time to suit the individual, midweek from 10 am to 5 pm, or on Saturday or Sunday afternoons. There is a price reduction if lessons are taken in blocks of four. Private lessons are designed for ‘one-on-one’, but can accommodate more people if required. We strongly recommend that adults and young children take separate lessons.

School and Youth Groups

Information on group instruction for local schools can be found in the ‘Kids’ section. Youth groups can also be catered for. Contact the club for details.

Booking Policy

While we try to offer continuity of instructor, this can not be guaranteed due to holidays, sickness or other commitments. Once Private lessons are booked they may be cancelled, but we require 24 hours notice for weekday lessons and 48 hours notice at weekends. Failure to turn up for lessons or cancellation without the required notification will result in the lesson being lost. There are no refunds available for lessons not taken or lost. For group lessons we need 5 days notification of cancellation of a block of lessons or a £15 cancellation charge will be due. A ‘no show’ or cancellation on the day will result in full payment being due.
