Start Strong

Beginner courses specifically for women only

These courses are offered as part of The Hill (Ski Rossendale) weekly “Ladies’ Me Time”, which runs on Fridays, 10:00-12:00. It’s the most welcoming, supportive and friendly group of women you could hope to ski with, and there are always instructors and coaches available to help you develop your ski technique.

Beginner courses run over four consecutive Fridays, and are intended for those who have never skied before, have had a long break since they last skied, or those who need to build their confidence to ski, all in a gentle and nurturing learning environment.

Most Ladies’ beginner courses are taught by Carol, who’s approach is informed by her PhD, 25+ years experience as a successful teacher and trainer, and research into removing fear as a barrier to participation in snowsports. The courses are carefully structured to move you incrementally from complete beginner on the small teaching area to skiing independently on the main hill. Over the 4 weeks you will learn how to start, stop, balance whilst sliding, make linked turns, and ride the lifts.
