Best For Beginners
SKI & SNOWBOARD
All Best For Beginners Packages include 2 hour group lesson, all day equipment rental (skis, boots, poles and helmet OR snowboard, boots and helmet), and beginner chair lift ticket.
Our two Best For Beginners lessons, FIRST TIME & NEXT TURNS, are grouped by age and ability and are for those who are new to the mountain environment or who have been a few times but would like more confidence with the basics.
FIRST TIME BEST FOR BEGINNERS PACKAGE
The First Time Best for Beginners lesson is designed for first time skiers and snowboarders or those wanting to start fresh with the absolute basics of the sport. Participants are grouped into lesson classes based on age. Lessons follow a beginner progression, learning one skill and building on it throughout the two hours. Participants can expect to spend the majority of their lesson on our gentle beginner terrain and on the handle tow slope. Some lessons may use the handle tow lift while others may hike around to find the appropriate terrain for their ability. The first lesson will prioritize getting to know your equipment and learning how to stay in control by turning and stopping. If you’d like to pick your own lesson group, we recommend a private lesson.
