Skiing Taster Session

Designed specifically for care experienced young people, this session offers the chance to get outdoors, try something new, build confidence, and have fun in the outdoors in a supportive and welcoming environment.

Funded by Cardiff Passport to the City and facilitated by The Outdoor Partnership, participants may have the opportunity to experience activities such as skiing, climbing, kayaking, canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding over the summer programme.

No previous experience is required, and all specialist equipment is provided by qualified instructors. If you're feeling a little nervous, that's completely normal – you're welcome to bring a friend or supportive adult along with you.

The Outdoor Partnership have teamed up with Cardiff Ski and Snowboard to bring you this session of 'learn to ski', which is super fun! You will learn how to put your boots and skis on, then learn how to walk in skis, then the instructor will slowly teach you to progress onto doing the snowplough! This requires low-medium fitness, so please come and give it a go! It is lots of fun!
