From learn to ski to ripping the mountain
Whether you’re a beginner wanting to learn to ski or a seasoned pro looking to take your technique to the next level, we have ski and snowboard lessons to suit all levels at the Dobo Snowsports School.
Guiding you in a fun and friendly way, our Snowsports instructors run private lessons for all abilities and group lessons by arrangement.
For Children and Youth, we operate according to the NZSIA programme which aims to have a consistent learn to ski and snowboard development pathway for children to follow throughout the country.
Children participating in lessons that utilise the FUNdamentals Programme receive a card indicating their level of achievement. The card can be used at any participating snow sports school to help identify their level and record their progress.
For Schools wishing to participate in the FUNdamentals Programme, please see the Ski and Ride Programme Page.
