ACCURATE TECHNIQUE, WARM TEACHING
Your child's first ski lesson:
check the instructor's qualifications.
We hope to be teachers they remember.
A child's first lesson deserves expertise.
Choose qualified instructors who explain safety and fundamentals and understand your child's stamina and perspective. We also discuss junior skill-level goals based on current ability.
We never rush a child who is still learning.
We explain at a child's level and give them time to overcome fear. Before speed, we teach safe standing, stopping and changing direction.
We want them to leave with skills and the confidence to say “I can do it”. We share practice points they can use after the lesson.
Instructor qualification documents
The supplied documents include KSIA Ski Level 1 and Level 2 certificates and teaching qualifications from the Korea Ski Resort Business Association. Please confirm your assigned instructor and their qualifications during consultation.
