Skiing – Like Having Wings

Regardless of the weather or time of year, you can put on some skis and experience the thrill of the slopes at Craigavon Golf & Ski Centre, honing your skills, getting fitter or introducing a friend or family member to the addictive world of skiing.

Whilst the sensation of skiing on fresh snow is hard to beat, Craigavon Golf & Ski Centre provides its own adrenaline rush and is a great consistent environment for learning and practicing. The techniques you use and learn on an artificial course are identical to snow and you will be well prepared for hitting the piste abroad. With increased confidence, you will spend less time on the nursery slopes, saving valuable time, energy and money in the longer term.

Tuition is provided by highly qualified instructors along with excellent modern equipment for schools, clubs, groups, families or individuals. The lesson programme is broken down into levels to help you progressively cover the skills needed to become a proficient slope user, from beginner to advanced.

Educational and Youth Group Ski Lessons

SCHOOL SKI IN A DAY

Our aim is to provide the very highest standard of instruction at a reasonable cost. We have been working with a number of schools in designing a ski programme which will meet the needs of both school timetables and pupils.

In this course, you will focus on balance and posture, how to control your speed, introduction to turns and how to use the button lift. We will be with you every step of the way, from putting on a pair of skis for the first time to completing your first run on the beginner slope.

This choice is the ideal way to learn to ski in control before your first holiday to the mountains. It will save students approximately two days in ski school on the beginner slope and enable faster progression to the fun green and blue runs.
