FAQs
  • Can I do a shorter lesson instead of a full day lesson in the Cardrona Refresher Package? The Cardrona Refresher Package includes a full day group lesson. If you prefer a shorter or more flexible lesson, private lessons are available where you can choose the duration.
  • Can adults and children stay together in the same lesson in the Cardrona Refresher Package? Group lessons are split by age and ability, so adults and children are usually placed in separate groups. If you would like to stay together as a family, private lessons are the best option.
  • Is the Cardrona Refresher Package suitable if I have only skied or snowboarded once before? Yes, the Cardrona Refresher Package is ideal if you already have basic skills such as stopping and turning. If you are completely new, the First Timer Package would be more suitable.
  • What is included in the Cardrona Refresher Package? The Cardrona Refresher Package includes a lift pass, ski or snowboard equipment hire, and a full day group lesson. Transport to the mountain can also be added if required.
  • Is the Cardrona Refresher Package a full day experience? Yes, the Cardrona Refresher Package is designed as a full day experience on the mountain, combining your lesson, lift access, and equipment hire for the day.
