THE LATEST & BEST TECHNOLOGY AT THE SKI DECK®

We only use proven techniques combined with the latest technology and innovations to teach you to ski or snowboard. The outdated "office carpet" used on the original Ski Decks® during the 1980s & 1990s has been replaced by a wet surface that has been especially designed for skiers & boarders. It's low friction characteristics are far closer to the real thing and carpet burns have been all but eliminated! With an infinite slope created by rolling surface you can ski for as long as you need and at over 4.5 meters wide, you have ample space to turn and eventually carve.

Our latest addition is the brand new SkyTec Interactive® Ski Training Simulator. This revolutionary new technology allows good skiers the opportunity to learn and then perfect carving techniques on either skis or snowboards. **NOW OPEN FOR BOOKINGS**
Good skiers may interchange their lessons between the Ski Deck
® and the Simulator


THE SIMPLEST, SAFEST AND QUICKEST WAY
OF LEARNING TO SKI & SNOWBOARD!

Learning to ski in South Africa prior to leaving for a ski holiday overseas is essential to the enjoyment of the ski holiday, as hundreds of South African wintersports enthusiasts are discovering
We also notice the trend of more experienced skiers returning year after year to improve their skiing ability and to get in shape before hitting the slopes.
It follows that the greater the ski holiday cost, the more important it is to ensure that one really enjoys one's skiing, and the only way to do this is to eliminate the hassle and discomfort of learning to ski on the beginners slope for the first week or so in the resort.

WHY THE SKI DECK®?

* 30 years of teaching experience.

* With a bar for support, beginners get a safe and secure start. The bar also provides invaluable support to master the basic stance –get this right and you are halfway there.

* Because The Ski Deck® provides continuous skiing and repeated repetitions of the same manoeuvre

* The instructor is within arms reach and providing instruction WHILE YOU ARE SKIING!

* The student is able to perform with rhythm and fine tune each turn to perfection - essential for both beginners and advanced skiers. There is no stop start, no waiting, no time wasted getting back to the top.

* The Ski Decks
® are over 4.5 meters wide - anything less than this is not conducive to accurate turns or learning to carve.


* Advanced skiers will be able to master carving techniques on the
new wet surface and then upgrade to the advanced SkyTec Interactive® Ski Simulator

* Why practice for 6 hours and do less than a few kilometres of skiing when you can do 40 or 50kms in the same period on The Ski Deck
®?
NOW THAT’S LEARNING!
 

SIX HOURS on the SKI DECK® is equivalent to
SIX WEEKS in the SKI SCHOOL:

Instructors on the SKI DECK® most of whom have had considerable experience in teaching skiing in regular ski schools in Europe, NZ and USA, stress the value of learning to ski in South Africa. The success factor is unbelievable high with the end result being that one hour of private instruction on the Deck is equal to one week in regular ski school in the resort.

 

BOOK YOUR SKI LESSONS on the SKI DECK® NOW !

Learning to ski is similar to learning to ride a bicycle. Once you have learnt you do not forget. With this in mind it is not wise to delay your booking of ski lessons. October to December are particularly busy months on the Ski Deck® and bookings fare particularly difficult to arrange due to seasonal demand. You would be well advised to book your Ski Deck® lessons as early as possible, thus enjoying the benefit of low season prices, and cooler weather conditions.
So do not delay - lessons are by appointment only. Contact the Springbok Ski School as soon as you can.
