The right ski lesson for you
Introduction
You want to learn to ski, but you don't know where to start?
There are so many different types of lessons available in your ski area that it can be confusing! If you're not sure which one is right for you to help you develop the most, read on. We'll take an in-depth look at each one and its benefits so that by the end of this article, you'll have all the information needed to make an informed decision.
Private lessons
Private lessons give you the undivided attention of your instructor and are a good way to learn how to ski, and an even better way to improve your skiing. They are perfect for individuals or small groups and can be arranged in any combination of ability levels and interests. At Boomerang on Snow we believe a private lesson should be no more than one person. Past the beginner lessons, private lessons allow you to set your own goals for learning how to ski, whether you want to ski at the intermediate level, or if you have a specific interest .
Private lessons are also available for children and adults alike! If you're looking for a special gift idea for someone who loves winter sports, our Private Ski Lessons with Carv is it!

• Undivided attention of your ski instructor
• Good opportunity to improve a particular skill

Group lessons
Group lessons are taught in a small group of 4-6 people, making it easy to learn from our instructors, as well as your peers.
Group lessons are great for learning as well as socialising or even making friends with other skiers.
At Boomerang on Snow we do recommend group lessons. They are more fun and interactive.
