Ski & Snowboard Private Lessons
2023-2024
Our certified snow pros will guide you through easy-to-understand steps to improve your skiing or snowboarding skills. Get skilled one-on-one instruction for beginners to experts.
Each Private Lesson includes a complimentary Lesson Lift Ticket for the lesson participant.
During the lesson, the Lesson Lift Ticket is valid for all lifts at the discretion of the instructor. Outside of the lesson, the ticket is valid only on the Handle Tow.
You have the option to upgrade to a full area, 9am – 4pm lift ticket for $45.00/ person online or before or after the lesson at Guest Services. Upgrade lift tickets are not available for children 5 & Under as their ticket already provides for full area access with a paying adult.
For weekend and holiday lessons, please book ahead. (Drop-ins are welcome, but instructors may not always be available. Pre-registering is strongly recommended.) Weekday lessons are by appointment only.
Private lessons are available at 9:30 am, 10:45 am, 12:30 pm, 1:45 pm and 3:00 pm during the holidays and at 9:45 am, 11:00am, 12:30pm, 1:45 pm and 3:00pm midseason.
*You may add up to two additional participants to a Private Lesson for ages 6 and up with a similar age and ability level. While our instructors will work to help each participant reach their personal goals, more attention may be given to younger and less skilled participants. In addition, terrain choices will be made with respect to the safety of the weakest skier/snowboarder.
