Our incredible instructors will guide you through the skiing lesson and tailor it to your needs. Our day skiing lessons in Manchester are for anyone over the age of 17 and can be booked at three skill stages: Beginner (Stages 1 – 3), Improver (Stages 3 – 5) or Skills Development (Stages 5, 6 and Coaching).
Once you have completed the beginners course, you can tackle our Improvers Day. Aimed at skiers who have achieved Stage 3 of The Snow Centre learning journey, or skiers who can link basic turns on easy green slopes. This one-day skiing course starts out on our Beginner Slope, where the focus will be on further developing steering and controlled turns, building confidence, refining progressive edging skills, and unlocking the ability to ride steeper terrain. Learners will be introduced to the button lift and will follow the instructor in a controlled descent down the Main Slope. The course will focus on developing independence and confidence as an early-level skier.
Our Skill Development skiing day lesson is designed for guests who are independent skiers, have completed Level 5 or our Improver Day Course, and wish to develop their confidence and technique further. The lesson will start at the top of the main slope and will continue further to enhance the accuracy and control of their skis. As you progress through these skills, you will develop your turn size and shape to help tackle a variety of terrain and conditions.
It doesn't matter if you’ve never even tried it before; with our beginners snowboard day course, you will be well on your way to being a snowboarding legend. Starting as a complete beginner, during our five-hour snowboarding lesson, we will guide you through all of the snowboarding basics. By the end of the lesson, you will have some foundation skills, you will understand your equipment, and fully understand slope safety.

See what our customers had to say about their time at The Snow Centre Manchester:
“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.”
“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.”
“Very friendly staff. Good, clean facilities and very good prices on lessons lift passes.”
“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.”
