Take the next step in your skiing journey and discover some of the exciting techniques that will have you feeling the thrill of the Main Slope and ready to tackle your next ski holiday. Our intermediate-level lessons include two learning phases. The Stage 4 lesson is about developing the skills you have learnt as a beginner, but now on our Main Slope. Stage 5 is about advancing and blending those skills together to build confidence to practise on your own with a lift pass.
Learn from our expert instructors, who are ideally suited to help you transition from the basics of skiing to new heights, taking your skills to the next level.
You will be building confidence on the lower section of Main Slope and get better acquainted with the button lift. You will start to ski confidently, blending snowplough and parallel ski positions for turns and adjust to varying terrain.
Once you have successfully completed a Stage 5 lesson, you will be able to practice independently on the Main Slope using a Lift Pass. Don’t worry, equipment is still included in the price of a pass. All Main Slope users need to meet our minimum slope standards for recreational use. You must be able to control your speed and direction, perform linked turns, stop when you need to and use the button lift unassisted.
Our instructors make each lesson educational and intuitive, always helping you to progress and improve your skills.

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.”
