Friends of Plume Ridge

Celebrity Students

陳凱琳, 林芊妤, Jan Tse and 蕊蕊 have all taken lessons with Plume Ridge.

Since Plume Ridge was founded, many people have started skiing and snowboarding with us, including Hong Kong celebrities 陳凱琳, 林芊妤, Jan Tse and 蕊蕊. In a 3-hour private lesson, a coach is beside you at every step, from putting on your gear and finding your balance to riding down the slope on your own for the first time.

Yes, thank you Lexi for teaching so patiently, and thank you Terry for helping. My classmates were all great. I'm so happy to have gone from a blank slate to practising and getting a bit of an idea. It was pretty tiring, but so much fun 😆😆

@Lexi Thank you for your encouraging teaching these two days ☺️ I feel I got a lot out of it. Our whole group of colleagues was really into it. I'll keep practising when I have time 😎

FAQ

Snowboard vs. Ski: which should you choose?

Our advice:

Typical progression (averages)

1. Snow quality and ski slope environment

2. Climate and comfort

3. Convenience and Cost

4. Target Audience and Goals

5. Learning outcomes and enjoyment

Beginners are advised to start indoors.

Urban trainers can combine indoor and outdoor training.

Outdoor vacations are the top choice for those seeking an experiential vacation.

Children's learning can be gradual

The core standard: skills readiness (self-check list)

Before considering an intermediate run, you should be able to do all of the following on beginner runs, consistently and with ease:

2. Handling different pitches and turn shapes:a. Keep the same control on every pitch of the beginner run, including the steeper parts.b. Deliberately vary turn size to suit the situation (big turns to control speed, short turns to get around obstacles or crowds).

3. Safety awareness and habits:a. Always watch the line ahead and anticipate what other riders will do.b. After a fall, move quickly and safely to the side of the run before getting up.c. Know and follow the Skier's Responsibility Code (for example, the person downhill has right of way).

4. Confident on lifts:

Load and unload every type of lift (chairs, gondolas and so on) smoothly and safely, without falling or affecting others.If you are unsure about any of the points above, keep practising on beginner runs.

Rough timeframes (everyone is different)

● Weekend riders (1–2 days a week):○ This may stretch to 2–4 ski weekends (about 4–8 days on snow), because each session starts with finding your feel for the snow again.

Important:

These timeframes assume effective practice — focused on technique rather than aimless play. One or two lessons with a coach is the most effective way to shorten the process.

Safety tips for your first intermediate run

1. Pick the easiest blue run:

Ask resort staff or your coach for the widest, gentlest, best-groomed blue run as your "first intermediate".

2. Don't go alone:

Go with experienced friends, or at least tell someone your plan.

3. Take it in sections:

Don't charge down in one go. Ride a section, stop at the side to rest and look, then plan the next section.

4. Relax:

Your first few intermediate runs may feel like you have "gone back to square one" — that's completely normal. Let yourself ride slower with more cautious turns and rebuild your confidence.

5. You can always bail out:

If you feel completely out of control or frightened, don't push through. Traverse down in wide zigzags, or even take your gear off and walk down (stay to the side and take care).
