Regular Season

The After School Program is a 7-session/week progressive lesson program which provides an opportunity to hone skills for those ranging from beginner to upper intermediate in their discipline of choice. Once a discipline is chosen, it must be followed until the end of that session. Students enrolled above the beginner level will be evaluated during the first lesson prior to final placement within skill level class.

Online registration for this program is required; no walk-ins will be accepted. This program is limited to 100 students for both skiing and snowboarding disciplines. Sessions will be held on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, and once a program night is chosen no substitutions will be made. Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday programs each offer a bonus date which is reserved as a make-up session should Cataloochee Ski Area not be operating any of the listed dates for night session. In the event of all sessions taking place on schedule, the bonus date will remain in effect as an additional session and opportunity to showcase learned skills.

Register Saturday, December 2nd at 9:00 AM through Saturday, December 23rd.
