Inside Ski Training Center, Leesburg

Highly recommend this place if you want to improve your skills. Instructor Scott is the one who make a difference. He is very focused on precise techniques, 1 on 1 sessions with Scott are top notch experience. Do not get frustrated with delayed communication this is small business with limited staff, but always get back to you.

I have been skiing since I was 15. Before our visit to Inside Ski Training, I had tried two previous times to take/get my wife skiing. Both times ended up with her frustrated, exhausted and hurt! So I decided to take my wife for round three along with my 17y.o. daughter and two 11 y.o. daughters. We went to the Inside Ski Training Center the day before we drive up to the mountains to ski. I will tell you, it's a must! Trust the process!!! The Manager/Trainer was phenomenal! They covered the simplest task from how to walk on a hill in Ski boots all the way up to turns, stops etc. They even had a mock Ski lift. The first time down the indoor hill I saw the fear return to my wife's face (like ptsd from her previous attempts). The Manager calmed her down, built trust and within just a few minutes has her sliding confidently down that hill! Getting to understand the movements and feel the feedback was invaluable. We plan to do it every year before we hit the mountain just to get a little practice/warm up before going now! Side note, when we actually went skiing, my wife made a left turn (right on to a Blue slope/intermediate slope) when we all went right. I was worried sick. We all caught up about 30 minutes later and to my surprise she made it down! First real time skiing!! She admitted she was chanting to herself the entire time the mantras the Inside Ski Trainer kept telling her, (work your turns, lean into your boots, trust the process) and it got her down safe! She went skiing on the mountain several days and not once did she even fall on the Ski lift. Mind you our last attempt (prior to Indoor Training) I had to hold her by the neck of her jacket as she dangled there like a marionette puppet to get her down the Ski lift hill when unloading otherwise she would dive for the ground. So truly impressed. Well worth your time and money. Our kids hit the mountain like champs because of this training. Even my chicken little. She popped right up and went at it. Having a safe calm indoor place to practice made all the difference. I feel it allowed my crew to listen without all the distractions and build skills without the intimidation of the 1000'+ vertical mountain drop looming over them. If I lived closer I would be in there on my regular to train and work out! They have many levels offered there. Cross posting this review on all the sites I usually check in hopes it helps others the way it helped my family!
