I brought my two daughters for ski training, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Communication was clear and timely, the instructor was outstanding and worked extremely well with both girls, and the sessions were very well organized. Everything was ready upon arrival, which made the experience smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend this shop for ski training. read more

Took three girls (ages 6-7, no experience) for a group lesson and they had a blast with the instructor. Learned the basics of how to put on / take off skis, how to walk, how to seat on / get off ski lift, how to get up from a fall, then of course how to ski and turn. Everything felt super safe and relaxing and I learned a lot just watching the process. If the center was closer, I would definitely book another lesson and get a little more time on the magic carpet. I feel like our first ski trip would be much smoother and less stressful now. read more

I've taken may 5-6 lessons at the Indoor Ski Training Center. This year I've taken 3 to get in shape for a big ski trip to Whistler. Each of the three times was with different instructors and they were are fantastic. They are so equally good that I can't pick a favorite. On each of the three times, I explained to them how I best learn and they tailored what they said based on this (I really need to understand the physics of it all to make sense). As I'm sure the other reviews say, this is such a great way to work on technique. You can't cheat and "push snow" - the only way to do this is to use proper technique. When you ski, you can see yourself in a mirror to see how you look. Moreover, the instructors give real-time feedback that allows you to make micro-adjustments as you go along. I would recommend them to an absolute beginner to the advanced expert. read more

In this review I'll talk about the training center. We come here a lot to have our son take ski lessons during the non-winter season, and we've always had a great experience. We usually get our lessons from Scott, and we can't say enough good things about him. He's absolutely great with my toddler son. The indoor skiing belt is a great machine to help new or beginning skiers get comfortable with learning techniques. They have all sorts of skiing and snowboarding equipment they can lend you for the training sessions, and of course, to sell you as well. After a few group and individuals lessons my young son can now comfortably turn side to side on the bunny slopes, much less turn on the indoor machine. It took a few tries from the very, very beginning to for him to get comfortable putting on boots, skis and helmet, but this really prepared him to get use to the motions when going on actual slopes in the winter. The lessons received here really prepared my boy on his lifelong journey of the sport. I would definitely recommend coming here if want to learn skiing, snowboarding, and to practice techniques. read more

See all

I've tried skiing unsuccessfully on the mountain twice and just couldn't get the hang of it even with booking a class. Having the Leesburg Indoor Ski center close to where I live has really helped me with getting over my fears with regard to what skiing actually requires of my 35+ year old body. My instructor, Scott, has been very patient and just awesome with everything and easing me into getting comfortable with getting going at my own pace over the last few months. I can't wait to expand what I've learned on the inside track to the mountains this year, and finally be able to actually participate in the winter sport fun. Really feel lucky that this place is around for people like me trying to learn in a less intimidating atmosphere at a pace that isn't determined by the hustle and bustle of being on a resort. read more

Boring Date Ideas: planning brunch and mimosas at a local winery. This may get you to date two, but it's not guaranteed. Definitely NOT Boring Date Ideas: Leesburg's Inside Ski Training Center - this date idea will take you all the way to the altar, and may take you to kid #1. Turns out, Leesburg is more than just grape vines and new-car lots! Tucked in an unsuspecting strip mall in a ski/snowboard/skateboard shop sits this inside all-year mountain where skiers and wanna-be-snowboards (ahem - me) can fine tune before the frostbite kicks in. This place literally just opened (it smells like new construction and sweat - my sweat, this shizz isn't easy) and all the equipment is still in the wrappers ready to be worn in. The sesh (yes - because I can try to be cool online) consisted of 30 minutes of "hill time" that my quads weren't ready for. Each student gets a personal coach who tells you in the nicest way possible that you suck terribly and need to practice for a year before jumping on snow (kidding - but it's not wrong). Not noob skier / snowboarder wondering if this is for you? It's like jumping out of a plane vs going to iFly - you'll probably survive both *insert Hail Mary prayer here*, but any mistakes at iFly are 100xs more pronounced. Same for ISTC (totally gonna make that acronym happen). I'm basically saying, this is the step in between bad to ok, ok to pretty good, and pretty good to d*mn fine (at least my ego hopes so). I only need to go back 100 more times before I'm decent, but I can definitely say this is an awesome addition to "things to do in Leesburg on a Sunday that is not drinking wine at a winery." * editor's note - the Ski Training Center is INSIDE the Ski shop - to the back and towards the right. read more

Inside Ski Training Center - Skiiiing (not me, some poor people I took a photo of) - Ski Schools Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

If you only get to ski 1-2 times per year, this is absolutely the best way to train and learn. One week equals a whole season. You can't get away with poor technique or pick up bad habits which is especially important for beginners. I'm still in the beginner category, but anyone can benefit from working on specific skills or techniques and correcting bad habits. And you're laser focused free from distractions found on the slopes. I had 3 different instructors, Nancy, Rich and Don, and they were all excellent. If you want to get the most out of your next ski trip, this is the way to do it! read more

It's a great way for beginners to learn in a safe environment. My 7-year-old son had private lessons with Scott and really enjoyed it. Scott was knowledgeable, patient, and made it fun for my child. read more

This place is nothing short of amazing. The flowing astroturf is a little different from snow, kind of stickier and grabbier, but the mechanics of a turn are identical to turns on snow. We've had three of the instructors so far, and all of them have been top notch. But the real area where this place shines is in instantaneous feedback, something you can't get at all on real snow. You're turning in front of a huge mirror, with the instructor standing next to you, so when she says "You're dropping your shoulder" you can see yourself do it, and correct it, in real time. It's impossible to overstate how revolutionary this is. Go to this place regularly, and you'll get good at skiing quickly. It's that simple. Note: it books up fast, so plan ahead read more

Inside Ski is a great for all ages and skill level! In taking my four year old there for lessons, I learned that pros also use this to help perfect their form. The staff is wonderful, and makes the experience so great that you will want to come back. read more

DO NOT BOTHER. Katie the manager will be very upset, as in turn bright red fuming angry, if you "walk in" to check out the ski/snowboarding training center. After driving all the way from DC to check out this place in Leesburg and hopefully try it out Katie got very upset with my fellow snowboarder and I. Well mostly with me for asking questions, as my buddy walked out without saying a word the moment he noticed her rude and unwelcoming demeanor. Maybe she was having a terrible day, but there is no excuse to take it out on the customers. I was simply scouting the location to hopefully bring friends and colleagues who love skiing and snowboarding. But after this experience no thank you. To the owners and managers of the ski shop, having employees like Katie hurt your business. DEC 2018 - Over the course of the past year, the owner of Pro Ski-Fit contacted me about my unfortunate experience above. We had a very good conversation, and she sincerely offered to make it up to me and ensure that I would have a wonderful experience at their indoor ski center if I gave them a second chance. My gut feeling told me her words were true and sincere. I have to say, she was absolutely right. That day was a bad day, one of those days we all have. Since our conversation, I have gone twice now in the past two weeks to give it a try at the indoor ski training facility. From the moment I arrived, I was immediately welcomed and made felt ia home. All of the staff are extremely professional, courteous, kind and friendly. Tgis is what makes businesses thrive. The instructors are seasoned, patient, and understanding. I am so glad I did this, because I have once again gained confidence back on my skis, not to mention what an amazing tool this is for beginne as well as advanced skiers and snowboarders. I was delighted to see people of all ages, from five-year-olds all the way to grown adults receiving training and enjoying the experience. They also inspected my ski boots, and recommended that I have them heat-molded to fit better against my feet. I am so glad I did because this has made a huge difference in my skiing technique. Also, my instructor, Mark, teaches at the nearby White Tail resort. I am looking forward to continue my training from the treadmill at the indoor Ski Center, to the actual slopes on the mountain. Either way, I am very thrilled about this ski training tool and I plan to continue for a long time. Finally, their shop is well-stocked with ski gear and apparel. Thanks for making it right!! read more

My 5 year old twins learned skiing in only 4 sessions. I purchased 8 sessions for each kid. After finishing the 8 sessions, kids were able to start on Blue zone at Roundtop Resort. They ended up at lower black only after 2 sessions on real snow. Impressive results. Thank you Katie, Cindy, and the entire team. We will return read more

Very friendly, knowledgeable staff and reasonably priced. I'm learning to snowboard there and they have been so patient with me and accommodating to my crazy work schedule. I was there today and can't wait for my next lesson next week! read more
