Your first day on skis
A calm, practical start for the mountain.
Book a lesson
Start with a qualified instructor and a designated learning area. Arrive early for rental or fitting checks. Tell the instructor about prior experience and any relevant limitations.
Practice the basics
Learn how to carry equipment, click in, stand in an athletic stance and stop. Practice controlled turns on gentle slopes before trying steeper terrain. This written guide is an orientation, not a substitute for instruction.
Plan a comfortable day
Bring warm layers, waterproof gloves, eye protection, sunscreen, water and snacks. Take breaks and finish before fatigue makes control difficult.
