Is it possible to have a 55min ski lesson at the snowdome and then go onto the recreational slope?

Question

My family are planning to learn how to ski at the snowdome. I told my mum that we should have a 2hr lesson instead of the 55 min lesson because we will learn more. My mum (who has been skiing before) said that it will be boring and we should just have the 55 min lesson and then go on to the recreational slope. However, Is this allowed? are you allowed to go on the recreational slope after just one basic lesson???

Answer 1

anything is possible........you can never have skied before and your "friend" gets you to the top then says bye ...happens all the time do your self a favor and look up and learn "your responsibility code" it will give you safety tips on trail dos and don'ts ...go for the shorter lesson and see what you think

Answer 2

I think you are both right. You can ski after a 55 minute lesson. I (among others) could teach you, But, you will be a much better skier with a 2 hour lesson and you will enjoy the rest of the day more.

Answer 3

As a beginner the instructor will show you how to break and turn with the easy "V" way.

(you make a "V" with the skis and you break...)

The answer is yes, if are can stand on the skis and do this the proper way you are able to go on an easy run with low speed.

Expect to fall sometimes and don't give up.

Answer 4

Where I ski instructed before, the lessons were as follows:

60 minute private lesson.

OR

90 minute group lesson.

If the lessons are 55 minutes, in a large group, you may get enough out of it to go enjoy the bunny slope. If you are young, athletic, have good balance, etc, you will likely be a quick learner.

Your mum is probably right...2 full hours of beginner lessons will probably bore you.

And they wouldn't offer it if it wasn't allowed.

Answer 5

no
