Inside Ski Training Center — Attraction in Leesburg

I have been skiing since I was 15. Before our visit to Inside Ski Training, I had tried two previous times to take/get my wife skiing. Both times ended up with her frustrated, exhausted and hurt! So I decided to take my wife for round three along with my 17y.o. daughter and two 11 y.o. daughters. We went to the Inside Ski Training Center the day before we drive up to the mountains to ski. I will tell you, it's a must! Trust the process!!! The Manager/Trainer was phenomenal! They covered the simplest task from how to walk on a hill in Ski boots all the way up to turns, stops etc. They even had a mock Ski lift. The first time down the indoor hill I saw the fear return to my wife's face (like ptsd from her previous attempts). The Manager calmed her down, built trust and within just a few minutes has her sliding confidently down that hill! Getting to understand the movements and feel the feedback was invaluable. We plan to do it every year before we hit the mountain just to get a little practice/warm up before going now! Side note, when we actually went skiing, my wife made a left turn (right on to a Blue slope/intermediate slope) when we all went right. I was worried sick. We all caught up about 30 minutes later and to my surprise she made it down! First real time skiing!! She admitted she was chanting to herself the entire time the mantras the Inside Ski Trainer kept telling her, (work your turns, lean into your boots, trust the process) and it got her down safe! She went skiing on the mountain several days and not once did she even fall on the Ski lift. Mind you our last attempt (prior to Indoor Training) I had to hold her by the neck of her jacket as she dangled there like a marionette puppet to get her down the Ski lift hill when unloading otherwise she would dive for the ground. So truly impressed. Well worth your time and money. Our kids hit the mountain like champs because of this training. Even my chicken little. She popped right up and went at it. Having a safe calm indoor place to practice made all the difference. I feel it allowed my crew to listen without all the distractions and build skills without the intimidation of the 1000'+ vertical mountain drop looming over them. If I lived closer I would be in there on my regular to train and work out! They have many levels offered there. Cross posting this review on all the sites I usually check in hopes it helps others the way it...

A couple days ago, 4/26/2025, I completed my first 2-hr group lesson at Inside Ski Training Center.

It was a fantastic experience from the 3 instructors to the training and equipment/facility.

There is little doubt in my mind that I will be able to improve significantly by the 2025/2026 ski season since I have already signed up for a number of additional lessons and plan on performing the agility, strength, and stretching routines outside of the lessons.

Skiing on the treadmill is not like skiing on snow - it's much better. The treadmill removes all variables one would encounter on the slopes, from snow and weather, sun and lighting, terrain, and other skiers, and leaves you with only your balance and coordination to focus attention on. Also, the instructors are standing right in front of you with a clear view and provide instant feedback.

Since I use the CARV ski sensor I will be able to quantify my improvement across different metrics when I return to the slopes next season. I have been skiing 2 or 3 days a year for many years but have a CARV ski IQ stuck at 120. I'm confident that continued training and instruction at Inside Ski Training Center will enable me to significantly improve that score by early next ski season. I plan on updating my feedback at that time.

Most of my skiing is at whitetail ski resort in PA where I can comfortably ski all the slopes except for Exhibition, the mogul run, that I have not been able to ski straight down top to bottom without stopping. So, from a qualitative standpoint my expectation is that I'll be able to do that as well by the end of next season.

Inside Ski Ski Training Center is a great facility with excellent instructors and I highly recommend skiers at all levels try it...

I’ve been driving an hour and a half each way to train here for the past three months, and it’s been worth every mile. Having access to this unique ski training setup on the East Coast feels like a real privilege. This family-owned business has a way of making you feel that you belong, and the coaches are instructors at local ski resorts. Coach Rich, goes above and beyond every time. Nancy, the owner, is one of those rare people who just has a way of making everyone feel at home. She’s genuinely caring and treats everyone with a warmth that’s rare to find. Every interaction with her feels authentic and uplifting. She’s not just running a business; she’s creating a community.

I genuinely look forward to each session. Whether you’re a complete beginner, an experienced skier, or a racer, you’ll definitely see real improvement in...
