Why Free-Ski?
Free-Ski is the only BASI accredited ski school on Cairngorm Mountain. Our instructors bring a wealth of worldwide experience to ensure the highest quality of snowsports tuition.
Whether you are looking for your first experience on snow, to gain more confidence and independence, or to refine your technique, our first-class team will be perfect for you.
Still a family-run business, we specialise in ski and snowboard lessons for beginners, up to experienced skiers and boarders.
As well as our regular snow programs of Wee-Ski and Teen-Ski, we offer private and group lessons.
We can also accommodate schools, military groups, businesses and larger parties.


TEAM FREE-SKI
We pride ourselves on having an amazing, fully qualified group of people to ensure you have the best experience you can with us, regardless of the size of your party.
From our snowsports instructors to our excellent ski hire team, we bring a wealth of knowledge from worldwide personal and professional adventures.
DRY SLOPE
Our Dry slope lessons run for four consecutive weeks just before the ski season, the perfect way to kickstart your winter or brush up before an early-season vacation. To ensure continuity, you must be available for all four weeks.
Regular kids classes, for ages 4 – 12 year olds, are available as well as evening sessions for adults and teens.
Ever skied in a floodlit forest before? If not, then try the dry slope night sessions. Perfect for building confidence and getting you ready to tackle the slopes.

WEE-SKI
This is our on-snow programme for children aged 4-16 years. It runs over 4 weekends, and you can book either Saturdays or Sundays. To ensure continuity, you must be available for all four weeks.
The package is 4 x 4 hours of instruction, equipment hire, and slope passes. Blocks will run in January and March, 9:30 am – 2:30 pm.
PRIVATE LESSONS
Engineered entirely for you and/or your party, these lessons can take you from total beginner to confidence on snow.
Already a good skier but want to improve specific technique? In a private lesson, our instructors can focus on getting the most from your skiing and have you setting edges and carving turns in no time.

SIDE COUNTRY & SKI TOURING
Side Country is essentially ski touring within the bounds of the resorts we know and love. It is sometimes lift-accessed but also introduces “skinning” to access areas of in-bounds skiing that would otherwise be difficult to get to. During the course, we’ll ski off-piste but there are no hard rules to say that a lap of your favourite piste can´t be part of the day!
If you are 16 years or over and at least level 4, watch out for next season’s bookings.
