TESTIMONIALS

See what our customers had to say about their time at The Snow Centre Hemel Hempstead:

Bob T

“Great lessons with experienced instructors who put kids and parents at their ease. The lessons were full as it was half term, but each child still didn’t have to wait too long between turns on the slope. It was easy to get and return equipment and the food in the restaurant was great and came promptly.”

Sue L

“Easy access from M1. Plenty of parking, simple registration, and quick service to collect skis, boots etc. Both lifts serving the main slopes worked faultlessly and although the session was quite busy I felt the slopes were quite free of other skiers classes. I particularly liked the snow conditions and at the end enjoyed the amazing cafè overlooking the slopes. Reasonably priced menu. All told an excellent start to our skiing this year.”

Wayne M

“Very friendly staff. Good, clean facilities and very good prices on lessons lift passes.”

Molina K

“We booked a beginners group ski lesson for 4 people and we had such a good time. Our ski instructor was Stuart T and from start to finish he was super helpful and encouraging. We would 100% recommend learning with him and are looking forward to going back again so that we can progress further.”

Yes, private ski lessons are highly recommended for those looking to begin their skiing journey and would like the opportunity to work one-on-one with our qualified instructors. A private ski lesson is the perfect way to pick up skills quickly and ensure that no bad habits slip into your skiing form. 

Although the time it takes to feel comfortable on the slopes will vary from person to person, with everyone having different abilities and the rate at which they feel comfortable with new techniques, typically, it should take around 4-10 hours of private lessons to reach our recreational standard, where you can ski on the Main Slope independently. 

Warm clothing is essential for your ski lesson; it's real snow after all. A waterproof jacket and trousers will allow you to enjoy your ski lesson fully; these can be hired from us if needed. Gloves and warm socks can be purchased from us if you don’t have your own. The rest of your equipment is included in your lesson fee.
