If you are looking for expert tuition to improve your confidence, perfect your technique or you're looking to explore new terrain, we have fun, world-class instructors on hand to help.
Porters is a great place to learn to ski or snowboard, with an array of instructors specialising in all abilities and skills. If you're a beginner, we have both adult and children's lessons designed to get you moving with ease and confidence in our designated beginner's area.
Our beginners' carpet lift and expansive beginners area is perfect for first-timers, while the platter lift and intermediate area is the perfect transition before moving onto the Easy Rider chairlift and further up the ski area.
If you're an advanced skier looking to improve your technique, we offer private lessons and daily skills clinics that will be more suitable for you.
Group Lessons
We offer group lessons for adults and children age 6 and above (age 8 and above for snowboarding), and a Kids Camp aimed at younger children with the sole aim to have fun on the snow!
