Choosing the Right Format
Group or Private Lessons: Which Is Best for Teens?
It depends on their personality and goals:
- Group lessons → Perfect for shared fun, team spirit, and collective progress.
- Private lessons → Ideal for specific goals, confidence-building, or custom schedules.
Our private teen lessons can be:
- Solo,
- Duo (with a friend, sibling, or parent),
- Or in a small group of similar ability.
Levels & Progression
How Do I Know If My Teen Is in the Right Group?
When booking, we’ll ask for:
- Their last ESi medal (Crystal, Star, etc.),
- The slopes they’re comfortable on (blue, red, black),
- Any additional info (freestyle interest, apprehensions, goals).
Our instructors assess levels at the start of the week and adjust groups if needed.

Can Teens Switch Groups?
Yes! If they progress quickly, our instructors may suggest moving to a higher-level group mid-week to keep the challenge just right.
