I had a fantastic teacher Jo-Jo. He really listened to me to start with, which I needed as I’m a beginner/intermediate. He was great at explaining technique and took me on appropriate slopes. I feel I really lucked out with him. He was friendly, professional & so easy to get on with. What he doesn’t know about snowboarding isn’t worth knowing! I’ve had 3 x 2hour lessons with him & feel I have really improved. Thank you so much. Pure quality instruction. The meeting point is also really clearly marked which was great as I was a solo traveller. Plus they wear a uniform which also helps. Really close to the lifts & a couple of lovely restaurants too. I can’t recommend oxyski & Jo Jo highly enough.
Great lesson
Excellent instructor, the kids loved Thomas & came away a lot more confident in their ability, thank you for a great experience.
You should wear warm clothing suitable for winter sports. Other accessories such as gloves, a ski mask and sunglasses are strongly recommended.
You must arrive at the first lesson with your equipment (skis and poles or snowboard, and boots). If you do not have your own equipment, make sure to allow enough time to collect it from the rental shop so as not to delay the start of the lesson. Some shops even offer the option of collecting equipment the day before your first day of hire.
Wearing a helmet is compulsory for children in some countries, but it is strongly recommended for everyone, regardless of age.
Unless otherwise stated, you must have your ski pass with you for the first lesson. You can usually buy one at the ski lift office or online. Discounted rates may be available for children or beginners, so check with your ski school to find out which pass is most suitable.
