Ski Lessons in Kilternan

kuro2k

Hi all,

I'm just looking for advise on ski lessons in Kilternan.

I have a ski holiday planned for the new year, problem is that I haven't skied in almost 20 years (4 ski holiday's taken in the 90's).

Should I sign up for the beginner class or would I be better off in the intermediate one?

kuro2k; Hey I teach up there, a lot has changed since you were last on skis, get ready to ski on shorter skis with more sidecut. The technique you have will be fine and you can use the skis just as you would have previously but it will take a while to get used to them.

Best option is to pop up on a quiet day and take a freeski session and start of slowly and ease you back into it. Probably a Friday night or Sunday afternoon would be ideal, if you are struggling or feel you need some lessons have one of the instructors asses you and they will tell you were you should be. I would be surprised if you actually had to go back to square one

Sounds like a good option, problem is that I'm based in Cork and will be travelling up especially to Kilternan.

Let say I travel up on a Friday for an assessment, is it possible to jump on a beginner or intermediate class next day or are they booked out weeks in advance?

Depends on the Saturday but if it is just you, you should be ok
