A little further, every lesson.

You can link S turns on a snowboard, or turn in a wedge on skis — what comes next? That is where Progression Private picks up.

A private lesson for guests who already have the basics and want to go further. Your instructor works from how you ski or snowboard now, finds what to adjust, and takes you from being able to ski or snowboard to doing it with greater control and efficiency, one lesson at a time. Taught mainly in Chinese, with Cantonese and English available; depending on your level and the day's snow, a tree-run powder session can be arranged. Adults and children are not grouped together; each is arranged by level.

Total beginners who have never skied before and want to start from scratch

People who don't want to figure it out on their own and want to get the basics right from step one

For learners who want to understand every move in their own language, without any language barriers.
