PRIVATE LESSONS
If you are looking for one-on-one undivided attention during your lesson, this is the way to go! Private lessons are available for ages three (3) and above and offer an opportunity to hone your skills quicker. With a personal ski or snowboard instructor, lessons can be more customized based on your individual abilities and goals.
NOTE: Lessons are not guaranteed and are available on a first-come, first-served basis upon arrival. Prices include lesson only; slope passes must be purchased separately.
GUIDED EXPERIENCES
Guided experiences offer an opportunity to learn at your own pace with a group of instructors available to assist you every step of the way. Instructors will be posted at stations throughout the bunny hill, actively guiding you through the processes of skiing and snowboarding from validating your slope pass to carving down the slope!
