Ski Hosting

Due to the size of the area we are happy on four days per week to offer ski hosting. Please note that ski hosting is only for intermediate skiers and above and it is not a lesson. Ski hosting is simply showing you some of the area and our ski hosts are unable to offer any advice whatsoever on your technique. Ski hosting is not pre-bookable as it is weather dependant.
