Beginner skiing FAQs

Which ski resorts are best for beginners, Europe or North America?

Both Europe and North America offer excellent beginner-friendly resorts, each with their own appeal. In Europe, destinations like Alpe d’Huez, Les Gets, and Ellmau provide wide gentle slopes, quality ski schools, and charming alpine settings. North America also shines, with resorts such as Keystone and Whistler offering top-tier instruction, beginner-friendly terrain, and seamless resort infrastructure. Your decision may come down to location, budget, and whether you’re seeking traditional alpine charm or a more modern resort experience.

Should I take lessons prior to my trip?

It can be beneficial to take an introductory lesson at a local indoor ski center or dry ski slope before your holiday. This can give you a head start and make your first days on real snow a bit smoother.

Is it essential to enroll in ski lessons?

Yes, especially for beginners. Proper ski lessons will ensure you learn the correct techniques and safety precautions, making your experience more enjoyable and secure.

How do I determine the right ski school group for me?

When you enroll in a ski school, they will typically assess your skills, either through a brief conversation or a quick test run, to place you in the appropriate group. If you're a complete beginner, you'll start in the beginner's group.

What should I consider when selecting a ski resort?

For first-time skiers, picking the perfect ski resort might seem like a daunting task. It's essential to align the resort with your group's needs and wants. Here are some aspects to ponder upon:

  • Travel: From where will everyone be traveling?
  • Activities: Do you want to ski all day, or does some prefer relaxing at the hotel? What about nightlife or other activities apart from skiing?
  • Accommodation: Are you leaning towards a hotel, catered chalet, or a self-catered apartment?
  • Skill level: Is the whole group new to skiing or are there a few with prior experience?
  • Lessons: Do you plan on having full-day lessons or just half-day sessions?
  • Environment: Do you value scenic views, or is proximity to slopes and ski school more crucial?
  • Slopes for beginners: Ensure the resort offers beginner-friendly slopes, wide and gentle terrains without excessive traffic. As you gain confidence, there should be intermediate slopes to move onto.
The primary aim is to ensure a comfortable, enjoyable, and safe experience. Don't hesitate to contact the WeSki team if you need any advice or recommendations.
