All about ski & snowboard classes at SKI-INN
English Information
It’s not much fun being in Amsterdam if you love to ski or snowboard. After all, we are unlikely to ever get enough snow, let alone mountains. At SKI-INN, we offer ski and snowboard classes for all levels, whether you’re an absolute beginner or an experienced skier. Our indoor facility ensures that you can enjoy skiing year-round, regardless of the weather outside. Here are some key points about our lessons:
- Individual attention: you’ll always be paired with a maximum of two people on the slope simultaneously. This ensures optimal private guidance from our instructors.
- Maximize results: each lesson lasts one hour, with a maximum of four people per hour (alternating every 10 minutes). This setup allows for focused attention and maximum results.
- No weather worries: since it’s an indoor facility, you won’t have to deal with bad weather conditions.
- Continuous skiing/boarding: our moving slope operates like a conveyor belt, providing a seamless skiing experience.
Whether you’re preparing for your next ski trip or simply want to improve your skills, SKI-INN is the optimal way to learn and enjoy skiing or snowboarding in the heart of Amsterdam!

Each class is about 30 minutes long. You have 10 minutes and off. Continuous skiing covers a distance of approx. 25,000 vertical feet. This is made possible by our revolving slopes, which is similar to how a treadmill works.
The revolving slopes are made with soft nylon fiber carpet, which may feel slightly different but will still require the same techniques, as if you are on the actual thing, nonetheless. There are mirrors in your front or at the base of the slope, which will provide you with immediate feedback about how you perform.
All classes are subject to a 48-hour cancellation policy. You can cancel your class(es) not less than 48-hours’ notice before the reserved date and time.

Yes, it is wise to cancel your lesson in time, otherwise your lesson will be cancelled. You can move up to 48 hours before the start. Even if you are late in canceling due to circumstances (causing your lesson to be cancelled), we recommend canceling your lesson via your account. This way you give someone else the opportunity to book a lesson and it is better for the teacher if he/she knows that you are not coming.
Leniency arrangement: If the lesson canceled too late is filled by someone else, you will receive a last-minute lesson in return. This can be used until the end of the season for which you purchased the lesson. High season is until March 31 and low season is until August 31. This lesson can be booked within 24 hours before the start.
