Can I have lessons in the same group as the other people in my party?

All groups are assigned based on skill, age and if it’s skiing or snowboarding. If everyone in your party is doing the same activity (ski or snowboard), have the same ability level (for example, all first timers) and the same age group (adults or children) there is the possibility for all of you to be together.
Should you like to have the same group as your children that request must be done on the day that you are taking the lessons and it’s up to the lesson’s provider (NZ Ski) discretion.
