All the family went down to the Ski Centre (October 2011). Brilliant. All parallel skiing now. Kids flying. Bought family membership and ski for €15 per hour. Started with 30 mins… In the hour 10 mins on 10 offx3. Now doing 15 min runs x2 each run =15k run… Definitely recommend. John

my mates and i were in the ski centre a couple of weeks ago. Some of us skied and a couple did the snowboarding. we found it a brilliant laugh. The instructors were great and unlike the lessons when we were away there was only 3 of us with the instructor so we weren’t hangin around for people to be picked up of the ground. The 3 lots of 10mins took it out of us over the hour and after a couple of lessons (we are all beginners) when we got to the snow on holidays we were flyin. It;s a brilliant place and I’d defo recommend it.

Very expensive for what you get. €55 for 20 mins, not an hour, which is about €3 per min. Basically if they have 6 people in the hour class they break the class in two so you have a five minute lesson, sit down for five minutes while the other group are taught, then you get another five minutes and finally 10 mins at the end. I felt I learnt very little in the 20 mins.

Was up their last week as part of a group who are heading to Meribele. We are mix of seasoned skiiers and beginners. The instruction was great. The beginners were getting the hang of if in no time. The more experienced skiiers were a bit frustrated at the start but the slopes are unforgiving and it really helped us ironing out some bad habits we had built up over the years. The tuition was excellent, small classes of 3 people with plenty of attention given to everyone. Worth checking out.
