Ski Race training program.

Race Programs.

Please note: All athlete training programs with the exception of Rippers n’ Riders requires the athlete to be able to ski/snowboard confidently from the top of Snowplanet, perform linked turns and controlled stops. Should you have any doubt about your level or your child’s level please arrange a Private Lesson so we can assess your/their level.

In addition to all the athlete training prices below, you may also need a Snowplanet RFID card to access the lifts and ski mat in the Snow Dome. A deposit of $7 is charged for this RFID card. Please keep the card for future use (duration of the program) or return it for a full refund.

Helmets are compulsory for all skiers and snowboarders in the Snow Dome. If you do not have a helmet, you must hire one for $8.
