We were not an easy group – ages 7 to 68, with different skill levels, some of us ski and some snowboard.
Vaidas was very professional. He knew how to tailor the instruction to our different needs and abilities, making everyone feel confident and comfortable. He also showed a lot of care and responsibility to our safety.
It was so much fun! Thanks a lot!

You should wear warm clothing suitable for winter sports. Other accessories such as gloves, a ski mask and sunglasses are strongly recommended.
When should I collect my equipment?
You must arrive at the first lesson with your equipment (skis and poles or snowboard, and boots).
