About the event
Montana Snowcenter in Westerhoven has a large slope for free skiing and a smaller one used mainly for lessons. Unusually, the hourly, evening and day tickets include hire of skis and boots or a snowboard (clothing and helmet extra). Free skiing is meant for people who can already ski or board on their own; beginners start with a 90-minute group lesson, gear included. On the second Friday of each month a 'Snow Dance' evening brings music to the slope. Tip: the hall is closed on Mondays and opens only at noon on weekdays; gloves are compulsory for everyone and helmets up to age 12.
