Group lessons are designed to accommodate the least experienced participants in the group. Instruction will progress at a pace appropriate for beginners and may remain in the Learning Center area.
If you consider yourself more experienced, are looking to fine-tune specific skills, or want to guarantee time on the chairlift or terrain beyond the Learning Center, we strongly recommend booking a private lesson.
Note: The prices do not include rental equipment, locker, lift ticket, or season pass. A valid lift ticket is required to be allowed on any terrain which includes all teaching areas. A ski or snowboard helmet is also required for anyone taking a lesson.
