PRIVATE LESSON

All Levels, Ages 3+

Our private lessons provide individualized instruction based on participant experience and knowledge of fundamentals. With a personal ski or snowboard instructor, lessons can be truly customized to assist you in reaching your goals. Please note that private lessons with more than one participant will be taught at/to the lowest level of experience and ability.

Be advised, prices include the lesson only; slope passes are required to take a lesson, regardless of slope use and student’s age. Slope passes and rentals must be purchased in addition to a lesson. To ensure the most enjoyable experience possible from start to finish, allowing at least one (1) hour to complete ticketing and rental sizing prior to your lesson is recommended.

KIDS ADVENTURE

Beginner to Intermediate, Ages 4-12

Pass. Gear. Lesson… BIG Adventure.

YES, you read that right! This lesson option bundles your child’s slope pass, equipment rentals, and lesson all together into one sweet little package guaranteed to deliver an unforgettable experience. Pricing also includes a snack for half day participants, plus lunch for full day participants.

Not only is the price an absolute steal, but you get to skip the line, too. Simply bring your child to the Kids Adventure Center at the check-in time listed for their respective session and we’ll handle it from there. No visit to a kiosk or Guest Services for a slope pass, no tiny hands hauling gear from rentals to check-in, no need to order or wait for lunch to be prepared… Just check-in and go, we’ll prepare them for the snow!

Kids Adventure lessons are designed and offered specifically for children ages 4-12. Classes are formed according to age and ability. Our instructors use age-appropriate teaching methods that combine fun, movement, repetition, and positive reinforcement to build skills and confidence. Through interactive activities and guided learning, children will develop a strong foundation in skiing or snowboarding while learning how to navigate the mountain, understand and follow the Responsibility Code, and proper equipment use.

Kids Adventure will run December 12th thru March 6th for the 2026-2027 season
Be advised, all sessions will become available to pre-purchase on OPENING DAY

CHECKING IN

Children must be checked in no later than their stated start time. No exceptions will be made to this requirement, as adding students to a lesson once it has begun hinders the progress of the entire class. For everyone’s comfort, most especially your child’s, we request that parents remain on premises for the duration of the lesson.

Full Day: CHECK-IN from 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM
Half Day AM: CHECK-IN from 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM
Half Day PM: CHECK-IN from 12:30 PM – 1:00 PM

WHAT TO EXPECT

An introduction to equipment, basic on-slope education, and fundamental skills such as walking in boots, gliding, stopping, and turning in a beginner area. Depending on individual progression and comfort, first-time students have potential to be introduced to a conveyor and/or ski lift, but it is not guaranteed.

Students at an intermediate level will receive instruction aimed toward enhancing skills on trails, linking turns, stopping, loading and unloading a conveyor or ski lift, and their skier responsibility through creative play.

Program pricing includes a slope pass beginning at the enrolled lesson time, all-day ski or snowboard and helmet rental, and a snack. Lunch is provided for the full day session.

GROUP LESSON

Beginners, Ages 8+

Sunday through Friday EXCEPT 12/27/26, 1/17/27, 2/14/27

Learn the basics alongside peers at a similar skill level who also have similar goals. Our group format lessons are led by a designated instructor who will guide you on equipment and on-slope education. Once you are comfortable with your gear’s fit and function, we will begin working on introductory snow skills. This part of the lesson will take place in a beginner bunny slope area, where we will turn our focus to moving on snow through gliding, stopping and turning. The remainder of the lesson is contingent on progression and comfort of the group, with potential to be introduced to a conveyor and/or ski lift. With this solid foundation of knowledge, you will maximize your performance and confidence on snow.

Learning new skills is challenging. We want to give you the best opportunity for success at your own pace. During weekends and holiday periods our daytime group lessons transform into a more flexible, progressive style instruction. Similar to our traditional group lessons as these keep with the same guidelines, students instead move through five specialty stations – each staffed with instructors. This learning style is unmatched in allowing for self-paced progression as you can repeat stations or quickly progress through as a refresher. Students are free to enter and exit the progressive instruction during the allotted period at their discretion for the duration of their respective slope pass(es).
