Ages 18+
Make the most of the cold winter months and enjoy some time on the slopes! Whether you're starting out or looking to develop skills you already possess, group lessons are a fun, safe place to learn new skills and develop your technique with others at the same level. Whether it's your first time skiing, you need a refresher, want to build confidence or just keep up with the kids, this is the program for you.
Adult ski/snowboard lessons are 2-hours long and include standard hill access during the lesson. All levels can be repeated to refine and consolidate skills. Each program will begin by reinstating goals from the previous level on more challenging terrain.
