## Direct answers to common questions

**Is the ski school open right now?**
It is open daily 08:00–21:00 during the winter season (roughly December to April).
In summer and autumn it is closed, but you can book ahead for the coming season by
phone on +421 911 561 561.

**Is there snow now?**
Snow cover in the High Tatras normally builds from late November/December and lasts
into April, with the higher slopes holding longest. Outside those months there is no
skiing. Check the live webcam and the current conditions on https://premiere-group.sk
before travelling.

**How much does a ski lesson cost?**
A private lesson starts at €44 for 60 minutes and €63 for 90 minutes. The price covers
one instructor for you or your family, and a helmet is included. Equipment rental is
separate, from €24/day for a complete set.

**From what age can a child learn to ski?**
From 3 years old. The Starý Smokovec location at Jakubkova lúka is used for the
youngest children — it is a gentle, short, uncrowded slope roughly 300 m long with
a children's conveyor lift.

**Private or group lesson for a first-timer?**
Premiere teaches private lessons only. One instructor works with one person or one
family, so the pace matches the learner. For an absolute beginner this usually means
progressing faster than in a mixed group.

**Which of the two locations should I choose?**
Choose Tatranská Lomnica for the widest range of slopes in the High Tatras, including
longer and steeper runs, plus the cable car towards Lomnický štít. Choose Starý
Smokovec — Jakubkova lúka for children, complete beginners and anyone who wants to
learn on a quiet, gentle slope.

**Do you speak Polish / English?**
Yes. Instruction is available in Slovak, Czech, Polish and English.
