I've had 2 snowboarding lessons with Sophie and 1 with Chris. Chris brings great energy and is a very good instructor. Sophie is great fun, patient and helped me develop quickly and safely. Great experience all round.

What a great experience my son is having learning to ski at the Torquay Alpine Ski Club. It brings back so many memories from when it was myself learning to ski. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The coaches know what they are doing and are very approachable. My son was quite nervous coming along but felt settled straight away. He came off in the soaking rain and wind with a huge smile yesterday, explaining that he cannot wait to learn how to parallel ski!! Thank you for giving my son a great experience and the skills to enjoy his ski trip with the school next year. After spending the winter learning to ski at Torquay Alpine Centre and practicing all the skills, my son went on his ski trip and had an amazing time! He was able to make the most of his trip because of the lessons you provided. Thank you. This weekend he was able to come back to the dry slope on an open practice day and show me the new level of skills he had gained from his trip! He had so much fun, that we will be continuing our visits. Videos attached to show how far he has come. Thank you once again!!

As two 50+ year olds who have never even put a ski boot on, the Learn to Ski afternoon seemed like a good idea. We weren’t disappointed. Our instructors Rick and Neil were absolutely brilliant, patient and encouraging. Nothing was too much trouble and the session was enjoyable, fun and great value for money. We can’t wait to use our new skills again!

I've spent a few months learning to ski here before my first ski trip. I'm not naturally sporty and was so nervous. All of the staff at the club are so welcoming and friendly and can't do enough to help. I've had lessons with Lewis, Rick, Nick and Angus who have all been fantastic. They were very patient but also pushed me enough each week to really improve. Very pleased at where I am now after looking back at videos of my first lesson! An amazing facility and worth every penny. Everyone there clearly loves the sport and are super encouraging.

My 12yo son has currently had 5 lessons at the slope having never skied previously, his ability and confidence has steadily grown over the sessions. He can now whizz down the slope practising his new skills! The admin team/instructors are professional and efficient. I cannot fault our experience to date and recommend anybody thinking of trying the dry ski slope to give it a go!
