Adults can take advantage of the adult only ski lessons. These lessons are designed for individuals who already have a minimum skill level, including being able to use the drag lift, control their speed, and make snow-plough turns.

Upon arrival, participants must read and sign a declaration agreeing to these requirements. Parents, friends, and non-Gosling ski instructors are not allowed to provide instruction. The nursery slope is exclusively for instructor-led lessons. Any failure to meet the required skiing standard will result in termination of the ski session without a refund.
Appropriate clothing, including gloves, long trousers, and long-sleeved shirts, must be worn at all times on the slope. The bottom of trousers should be wide enough to go over ski boots, and long socks are recommended.
