A place for all.
No matter what your skill level is, we’ve got a place for you.
For First Timer’s and absolute Beginners, we have our Beginner’s area, serviced by a 70m ski mat. If you’re still not sure about your skill level or if you’ve never skiied or snowboarded before, we highly recommend booking a lesson.
If you’re confident on the snow, let the Poma lift take you up to the top!
And, for our advanced riders and jibbers our terrain park changes every three to five weeks. Check out our upcoming terrain park plans!
