Visiting for a day?
Consider a private, group, or Nordic lesson to take your skills to the next level! Our friendly instructors are here to help you take those first laps or fine-tune your skills to explore new, more challenging terrain.
Private Lessons
A private ski, snowboard, or telemark session is one of the premier learning experiences available on the mountain. The individualized environment of a Private Lesson allows our instructors to provide instant feedback and personal guidance directly to you. Available for ages 4 & up.
Group Lesson
The joy of learning how to ski and ride is best done with a group of your peers. First-time and novice skiers and snowboarders will experience hands-on instruction in groups based on similar age and skill level and tailored toward your specific goals. Available for ages 4 & up.
Nordic Lesson
Join us for a 90-minute group lesson - classic or skate! Lessons are available 10:30 AM Monday - Sunday and 12:30 PM Saturday, Sunday, and during holiday periods. Includes trail pass and rentals. Advance reservations required. Available for ages 4 & up.
Pro Tips
Shoulder Season Special: Fine-tune your skiing or riding with a quick and focused Pro Tips clinic. Our expert instructors teach 1-hour sessions designed to identify and break bad habits while building new skills to get you into your best mountain form ever!
