What to Expect
On-snow groups
This is something we’ve specialised in for more than two decades. Our Ski Aspen at Hotham instructional program works like this. Small on-snow groups will be arranged based on ability, speed and daring. Having completed our pre Ski Aspen at Hotham survey, we’ll already have a good idea of the best group for you. It’s not uncommon for us to make some changes to the on-snow groups once we get going. This is standard process for getting everyone matched properly. You might be pleased to know we don’t make anyone do a ski off! If at any stage you feel the group you’re in isn’t right for you, be sure to let us know.
Push yourself one day and take it easy the next. Our program revolves around you being as comfortable or as challenged as you want. Our Ski Aspen at Hotham team are highly qualified and experienced instructors who know exactly how to get you skiing your best.
Après
After 23 seasons in Aspen, it’s fair to say we’re pretty handy when it comes to après ski. Thanks to our partners Mt Hotham and Aspen Snowmass, we’ve lined up some great social events for each of our 3 days. In fact, we’ll even begin with a casual get-together early evening on Thursday (August 9) for those of you that have already arrived.
Be sure to read through our itinerary so you know what’s on each day. And when it comes to our social activities, you’re welcome to participate as much or as little as you like. If you’d rather switch off after skiing each day and do your own thing, not a problem. Our après events are designed to bring people together and to help get everybody mingling. We guarantee you’ll enjoy the social side of our program as much as the skiing.
