Our Freestyle Foundations Coaching sessions are designed for those looking for an introduction to freestyle.
The expert instructor-led session will cover flatland basics, switch riding, flatland spins, ollies, presses, and more.

FREESTYLE MASTERY COACHING
Our Freestyle Mastery Coaching sessions for skiers are designed for juniors looking to tackle park features in open coaching sessions.

Young or old, these sessions suite those that have some experience in the park, guests that have attended our Freestyle Foundation session, or those looking to be introduced to different features. Build the confidence to tackle a 180 or attempt your first rail slide in our expert instructor-led sessions.
Our instructors make each lesson educational and intuitive, always helping your child to progress and improve their skills.
Lessons at The Snow Centre Manchester are tailored to your child and their level of ability, allowing them to learn at their own pace.
Our ski lessons allow them to develop their skills and abilities on the slopes, push and challenge themselves with expert guidance.
Watch over your child’s lessons from The Lodge Bar & Kitchen, the perfect place to sit back and spectate while enjoying a taste of the Alps.
Our private ski lessons are perfect for starting your child’s journey off right. These private ski lessons are tailored directly to their needs instead of focusing on a larger group, allowing them to enjoy and benefit from all the fun activities our instructors offer to get your child engaged and having a great time as they find their feet out on the snow.
Whether you’re 6 or 60, just starting out or looking to hone your skills, accelerate your learning whilst saving big – with a pack of three or six lessons at The Snow Centre Manchester.
With a lesson pack you can work through our lesson stages or hone more advanced skills in coaching sessions. You can also try out both disciplines with the same pack.
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.”

Kids ski coaching classes teach invaluable skills such as handling different types of terrain and identifying any techniques that would benefit from additional focus. Kids ski development coaching makes honing skills fun and exciting for kids of all ages. All our instructors have undertaken a DBS check and completed a child protection module, as well as all the relevant instructor licence requirements, ensuring they can offer the best skiing experience for your child.
If your child has any specific learning needs, please inform the instructor before their lessons so they can make any necessary adjustments. For any significant needs your child may have, we recommend contacting Disability Snowsports UK initially, as they offer subsidised lessons to help your child get started before participating in The Snow Centre's group lessons.
Whilst kids will be able to go skiing without supervision after they have completed our kids ski lessons and are older than 10, it is recommended that they take kids ski coaching classes to get the most out of their time on the slopes, developing essential skills, and enjoying the thrill of flying down the Main Slope with our qualified instructors watching over them. To meet the minimum requirements for the Main Slope, they should:
Your children can start the kids' ski coaching classes at the age of four, provided they have completed all the kids' ski lessons and can ski at a competent level. Our kids' ski group lessons are split into two age groups: 4-6 years old and 7-16 years old.
During junior lessons, a parent/guardian is required to remain on-site and be in sight of the lesson (where reasonably possible) at all times. This is in case the instructor needs to signal a parent/guardian to come down to attend to their child. Parents/guardians are not allowed to be on the snow with their child, but should be up in the Lodge viewing gallery or adjoining balcony.
Warm clothing is essential for your Ski lessons, especially in cold conditions. Wrapping up warm will allow you to enjoy your lesson fully. Wear warm, waterproof clothing and warm socks. All of which can be hired or purchased if you don’t have your own. The rest of your equipment, your Ski's , boots and helmet, all of which are compulsory, are included in your lesson fee. Gloves are compulsory and can be purchased either online when booking, or at the centre, or bring your own.
Whether you’re looking for an adult skiing lesson or looking to give the family a fun day out, our team can handle any and all lessons. If you have any questions about booking an event or any of our services, please contact us, and a member of our team will be happy to help.
