Where do I start?

Skiing and Snowboarding is fantastic fun and pretty easy to learn. You can learn the basics in one day, but with a few more, you’ll be ready to venture onto the Scottish Mountains!

The first step is to find a centre with a snowsports school.

Artificial slope ski schools are open all year round. Mountain Ski Schools are open from when the snow comes until just after Easter. Most snowsport schools offer private one-to-one lessons or group lessons. To find ski schools that can cater for learners with disabilities and additional needs visit our adaptive page.

Learning on an artificial slope in the warmer months can be a great way to get started. And once the snow arrives and you are ready, you can then advance to the mountain ski school to experience that alpine environment for the first time

Next Steps

Once you have mastered the basics, you can enjoy recreational snowsports holidays and activities and then, if you are interested, you can get involved in developing your skills in a specific discipline and go onto to either compete or even become a coach, leader or instructor. Find out more about the different disciplines in the menu on this website. d
