Can you learn to ski later in life? A 70-year-old rode on her own, and how coaches teach older or less fit beginners

Yes. FUYU has taught a 70-year-old skiing for the first time, on skis, and by the end of the lesson she could control her own speed and direction. We suggest skis for older beginners, coaches pace the lesson to your fitness so a full day is not too much, and three generations should book separate coaches.
