Adult Ski and Snowboard School

Our programs teach you to ski or ride...guaranteed! We start by outfitting you with state-of-the-art skiing and riding equipment by Rossignol. From there, our pros will take you through a carefully planned, step-by-step program that will teach you all of the basics like turning, maneuvering and having fun! In no time, you'll have turned your natural athletic ability into the skiing or riding skills you need to cruise the mountain.

Learn-to-Ski...Easy as 1-2-3 and guaranteed.

We take the fundamentals and combine them in a three-day package. These three ski clinics will teach you to walk, slide, turn, slow down and stop in a "wedge". Then you'll learn to control your speed by linking your turns. Finally, you'll learn to turn both skis in the same direction and execute tighter turns, controlling your speed while skiing the trails. We guarantee it or your next lesson is free.

Private Ski Clinics

If you prefer a one-on-one atmosphere or want your child to go with friends of similar ages and abilities, a private clinic* is the answer. Private clinics are available for Full or Half-Day clinics and do not include equipment or lift passes. Reservations are highly recommended. For more information, see our Private Clinics page.

Private clinic includes lesson only. Lift ticket and equipment rental must be purchased separately. All 6 hour Private Lessons pricing includes up to 6 people other lessons up to 2 people; each additional person will be charged $80 to $100.
