Why should I choose private tuition over group tuition?
Private lessons with The Edge Snowsports are tailored to your requirements. Sessions are taken at your own pace and all tuition is specific to those taking part. We aim to ensure that all participants are of a similar standard so that there’s no waiting for other skiers or no need to feel that you’re holding other people up. You’ll gain more knowledge and improve technique so that you feel more confident and therefore enjoy your time on snow. It’s the most effective way to improve your skiing in a short space of time.
What’s the weather like?
From December to January it’s cold with temperatures at or around zero which means perfect conditions for snow. In February and March the weather is warmer and by the end of the seaon you can ski in t-shirts and a light fleece.
