Sports School FAQ’s
Why are age categories for ski and snowboard lessons fixed?
Age categories ensure lessons are tailored to children's physical, cognitive and social development, promoting safety, effective learning and a comfortable group dynamic, regardless of individual ski ability.
- Developmental differences: Age categories are based on developmental milestones in motor skills, coordination and physical abilities. This ensures children are taught appropriately for their stage of growth.
- Safety: Placing younger children in older groups may increase their risk of injury, as older groups often progress to more challenging terrain.
- Instructional effectiveness: Lessons are tailored to the cognitive and social abilities of each age group, promoting effective learning and engagement.
- Peer learning: Children learn better and feel more comfortable in a group with peers of the same age, helping to build confidence and enjoyment.
- Ski ability does not equal readiness: Even if a child is advanced for their age, their physical stamina and ability to keep pace with older groups may not align.
- By keeping children in the appropriate age category, we can provide a safer, more enjoyable and more effective learning experience for everyone.
What if I didn't receive a confirmation email?
If you didn't receive a confirmation email, contact sportschool@sunpeaksresort.com to enquire about your booking.
What kind of equipment do I need?
- Skiers need ski boots, skis and poles. Snowboarders need snowboard boots and a snowboard. Our Rentals team can fit you with equipment suited to your height, weight and ability. Helmets are available for rent, and children's helmets are included with all rental packages that include lessons.
- Sun Peaks offers rental skis and snowboards for all ability levels. When renting equipment, simply let the technician know your ski or snowboard ability, and they will help you choose the right equipment.
Do I need to purchase a lift-ticket?
To access any lift, including the Learning Zone, all guests must have a lift ticket or a season pass.
Will I be able to choose my instructor?
Instructor requests cannot be guaranteed for group lessons.
