Up to 5 people can participate in private lessons at no additional cost.
Private lessons are available for ages 3+! For our youngest guests, ages 4 and under, we recommend one-on-one lessons so they can enjoy more individualized attention and instruction.
You will need to bring your lift ticket or season pass, skis and poles or snowboard, and proper clothing. And don't forget to bring the excitement!
Be sure to check the weather and the Mountain Report page to adequately prepare for your day on the slopes. The most important thing for skiing and riding is to dress in layers. You can always adjust during the day! Wear your base layers (preferably no cotton), mid layers, waterproof outer layers, warm gloves, a helmet, goggles, and a face mask. If it's your first time on the mountain, you can also check out our First Timers Guide!

We strongly recommend arriving at the mountain an hour and a half prior to your lesson time if you need to pick up rentals or a lift ticket beforehand.
Instructor gratuities are not included in the purchase price of your lesson. Your instructor is highly trained and specialized in their disciplines, often dedicating their life's work toward this endeavor! Your instructor operates in a service industry and gratuities are a common practice if you think they have met or exceeded your expectations. Similar to other service industries, gratuities are typically between 15%-20%. Instructors are typically able to receive cash, Venmo, and Zelle onsite. Please communicate with your instructor on a preferred method or platform that works for both of you. Cash gratuities can also be dropped off at the Ski & Ride Center sales desk if you know the first and last name of your instructor.
Ski & Ride School Cancellation Policy: Lessons are fully refundable if you cancel up to 2 full days before your lesson start time. Within 2 days, lessons are non-refundable.
