Reviews
Highly Recommended Ski Instructor for Families We had an excellent experience with our ski instructor, Sander. He was extremely patient with us as beginners and especially wonderful with our 4-year-old boy. Henry has a great way of connecting with young children—very friendly, calm, and encouraging—which made our son feel comfortable and engaged throughout the lesson. experience: instructor: safety: Our boy learned well and genuinely enjoyed the session, which says a lot about Sander’s teaching style. He explains clearly, adapts to each learner’s pace, and creates a fun and safe learning environment. We highly recommend Henry to families and first-time beginners, especially those with younger kids. Thank you, Henry, for such a memorable and positive first ski experience!
A great experience! Highly recommend our instructor, Coach Peng, for today. He was very patient and attentive to the three of us with no experience. Soon, my dad and daughter were able to ride the cable car 🚡 and ski with the coach! He also helped us film a skiing video. We are really happy, it was a great experience ❤️. Instructor: Coach Peng 👍
Very good experience. Although it's artificial snow in November, it's more than enough for beginners. The instructor is very patient and will start with the basics. Beginners are advised not to buy lift tickets because with three hours of learning, you may not have time to ski more advanced slopes.
Coach Sander is very professional. My son started with only very limited skiing experience, but he is now able to ski on all the beginner slopes and even some of the intermediate slopes after two days of lesson. Sander is also very patient and knows how to get along well with kids. My son likes him and starts enjoy skiing very much.
we had coach Sander with us and it was a great experience! We did as a family of four (2 adults, 2 kids 6.5 and 3.5 years old), 3 of us never skii before. Coach was very patient with us and was able to attend to us individually & based on our level and progress. both parents and our 6 years old were able to take the lift chair and skii down the slope by end of the day! we also received lots of amazing pics and videos! We would highly recommend this service!!
Thank you, Coach Sander Liang Liang, for your meticulousness and patience. You helped my shy and introverted son go from being afraid to finding skiing fun. Every step was filled with encouragement and a sense of security. You also thoughtfully captured his learning progress, leaving behind precious memories. You're professional, serious, and systematic. I highly recommend everyone come to Sander Liang Liang for lessons!
Instructor: Sander | Chinese instruction | One-on-one | Two skis Experience: Because I thought it was great, I also bought the 6-hour course for the second day. Instructor Sander continued to strengthen the stability of braking and turning based on the first day's foundation. I also practiced safely skiing down the beginner slope many times, which was really great! Even if the movements were sometimes not smooth enough, the instructor patiently reminded me of the details so that I could slowly correct them. Also, it was my first time riding the cable car. Instructor Sander also carefully explained how to get on and off the cable car. The scenery was very beautiful and really fun! I still fell during the process, but the instructor was always very attentive to safety and physical condition, and reminded me to rest when necessary, without pushing me too hard. Towards the end, I fell several times in a row due to decreased physical strength, but the instructor provided a lot of help. In the end, he even used the ski poles to guide me safely down the mountain on a steeper section, which I am very grateful for! Overall, Instructor Sander not only teaches clearly, but is also very patient and responsible, allowing beginners to try more in a safe environment. I highly recommend Instructor Sander!
Instructor: Sander | Chinese instruction | One-on-one | Two skis Experience: I'm so glad I met Instructor Sander for my first time skiing and choosing a one-on-one lesson. As a complete beginner with no experience, the instructor explained everything very clearly, from equipment & getting on and off skis to flat ground movement and uphill techniques. He also demonstrated everything, making it easy to understand. The overall teaching pace was very comfortable and I felt very safe. I fell a few times, and the instructor immediately checked on me and taught me the correct way to fall and how to get up on my own (although I did a terrible job XD), which made me want to keep practicing. In just three short hours, I slowly got the hang of braking and turning. Although it was tiring, skiing was indeed very fun. Overall, a great experience, perfect for people with absolutely no experience who want to learn about skiing.
Coach Yi Xuan is a very dedicated instructor. She's super patient and thorough with someone as inexperienced as me. If I don't understand something, she'll find a way to help me understand! The coach finally took me on the cable car to the top of the mountain to ski! She also helps to take skiing videos and photos. I'm really happy that I finally learned how to ski! I'm no longer just skiing on flat ground!
I'm so incredibly grateful! I never understood how to switch edges before, but Coach Hong's timing for teaching me to press the outside foot and shift my weight today was so precise. I finally felt that smooth feeling of turning with the snowboard! I used to be really scared of turning downhill, but with the coach's guidance, I actually learned smooth S-turns in just one lesson! The coach is not only professional but also helps capture your riding form. I sincerely recommend him to anyone who wants to improve!
