Last year, everyone who joined the lessons had never skied before. By the end of their lesson, they had gained confidence and were skiing independently from various places on the slope. For those who came to a number of lessons, they were soon skiing from the top. A number of individuals even gave a ski jump a go! The instructors at DSUK are amazing! They are understanding and will take each lesson at your pace! So whether you’ve been skiing before, or just want to give it a go, you won’t be disappointed!
