Best For Beginners

Learn to ski or snowboard at Mt. Baker with our Best For Beginners Package!

The Best for Beginners Package is designed for first time skiers and snowboarders and those working towards turning and stopping on easy green terrain. The lesson will prioritize getting to know your equipment, learning how to stay in control, and working towards the skills needed for riding the handle tow or beginner chair lift.

This package includes a two hour group lesson, rental equipment (includes helmet and either skis, boots & poles or snowboard & boots) and beginner chair lift ticket. Ages 7 and up. If you’d like to pick your own lesson group, we recommend a Private Lesson.
