Things to Know

A little planning can make lesson day smooth from the start. Check when to arrive, where to go, what to wear, how rentals work, and what your skier or rider may need before stepping onto the snow.

Lesson Waivers All guests will be required to complete a waiver prior to their lesson. Each guest aged 18 and older must complete their own waiver. Minors under age 18 will need to have their waiver signed by a parent or guardian.

Sign your waiver

What to Wear Dress for winter weather with warm layers, waterproof gloves, winter socks, and waterproof outerwear. Comfortable, weather-ready clothing helps new skiers and riders stay focused on learning instead of the cold.
