Lesson Types

Private Lessons

One-on-one instruction is the best way to seek out specific goals or start your learning experience at the pace that best fits your comfort level. Private lessons are intended to accommodate one student and are offered in one-hour increments throughout the day. Private lessons are available up to Level 2.

Semi-Private Lessons

Available for groups of two to four, these hour-long lessons must have students of similar skiing or snowboarding ability. Semi-private lessons are available for ages six+ and can be created by adding additional students to a private lesson.

First Timer Ski Group

Group lessons start at 9:15 a.m. and are for Level 1 skiers. This is the best value for people who are new to the sport. Our adult group class takes place at our Flapjack learning area utilizing our Magic Carpet and teaches the proper stances and gets students comfortable with the gentle slope of our beginner terrain.

*This lesson is not available for snowboarders.
