Level 2 Group Ski Lessons

If you can handle snowplough turns on green runs but find parallel turns on blue runs tricky, our Level 2 lessons are perfect for you. These lessons will boost your confidence and teach you the skills to explore more of the mountain quickly and easily.

You’ll get to try out different types of lifts during the lessons, including chairlifts, drag lifts, gondolas, and magic carpets. This will help you become more confident when exploring with others.

You’ll feel more at home on the mountain, gaining control and feeling less awkward. You’ll also fine-tune your snowplough technique on different terrains and slopes. Once you’ve mastered the snowplough and are ready to pick up speed, you can move on to Level 3.

What to Expect From a Beginner Ski Lesson

When you arrive for your first lesson, an energetic and friendly instructor will greet you, making you feel at ease and excited about the experience. During a group lesson, you and the other beginners will spend a few hours each day learning to put on your gear, get up the hill, and slide back down while controlling your speed and direction. As the days pass, you will move onto more challenging terrain and begin to explore new techniques. The aim for the end of the week is to be up and moving, feeling in control and more confident.

Tips for Beginner Ski Lessons

Ensure you’ve comfortable boots that fit well and are the right size.
Ensure your skis are in good condition and serviced (this should be done by the hire shop.)
Learning a new skill can be tiring, regardless of age or ability. Take breaks, as your legs will tire.
Mileage and confidence are key for new skiers. So, practice outside your lessons. Start on terrain you feel good on. Then, gradually increase the difficulty. Ensure you have solid foundations. Then, take on new skills and steeper, harder terrain.
If something knocks your confidence, try again the next day. Don’t give up. If you’d prefer coaching for one person, we recommend booking a private lesson. You will get more time with the instructor to receive personalised feedback.
Ensure you arrive at least 10 minutes early to the meeting point so lessons run on time.

“Ski school of choice. We always have a great experience with New Generation. Instructors are without exception fun and kind. Communication is good and ski groups adapt during the week so everyone finds their right level.”

“I recently completed my first skiing trip in Meribel and had an amazing time, mostly due to the Level 1 group ski lessons I had with New Generation. Our instructor Marco was patient and took the time to give encouragement and advice to each student individually.”

“Service was great and our instructors Marco and Vanessa in La Tania were amazing. Made us feel very relaxed at different level of lessons. Would certainly book with New Gen again.”
