Whether your kid is a seasoned powder lover looking to take their skills to the next level or a first-timer ready to learn the ropes, the Ski & Snowboard School ensures that learning to ski or ride will be fun, safe, and affordable for all. Join the professional instructors for Powder Scouts, Start Me Up Packages, or Private Lessons. Kids will work to improve their skills and foster a love for winter sports while having a great time.
Please understand and respect our Lesson Age requirements as they are in place for the health and safety of our staff and our guests. Please note: if you misrepresent your child’s age purposefully or by mistake, the lesson you booked will be treated as a ‘day of cancellation’ which means the entire lesson fee is forfeited, unless we are able to rebook the lesson as an age-appropriate option.
