WinSport’s School Programs are directly aligned with Alberta Education’s Programs of Studies and Safety Guidelines for Physical Activity in Alberta Schools. Our dedicated team helps children develop a lifelong passion for sport and play through our programming and world-class facilities.

Ski and Snowboard Lessons

Our Ski and Snowboard Program provides expert-led instruction in small group sizes from arrival to departure. Our program spans nearly a full school day when factoring in arrival, equipment fitting, lunch, and departure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mondays through Fridays, from November 23, 2026 to March 25, 2027.

Please note that schools are responsible for arranging bus transportation.

What does an example schedule of the program look like, and how much of it is spent on snow?

How many students can you accommodate?

The maximum number of students that we can accommodate per day is 250 students. The minimum requirement is 30 students per school. We will have reduced capacity on Fridays and also during the week of Nov. 23-27, 2026.

My school has less than 30 students that will be in attendance. Can our school still participate?

We may have space available for small schools. If less than 30 students attend the School Program, your school will be invoiced for the minimum requirement of 30 students.

What types of lessons are available in this program?

Our goal is to give as many students as possible the chance to participate fully in this program. Last year, we delivered more lessons than ever before, thanks to teachers organizing lesson groups in advance. For more information on adaptive, small group, or 1:1 lessons, please contact us at inclusion@winsport.ca or schoolprograms@winsport.ca

Which grades is this program available for?

This program is available for Grades 1-12.

What are the group sizes during lessons?

Lessons are organized at a 1:8 instructor to student ratio, based on the total number of students your school expects to attend the program. Specific group ratios may vary lower or higher (up to 1:10) with distribution of students into each skill level and ski/snowboard disciplines.

If enrollment for a particular level is low, students may be combined with another level or with another school. For example, if there are only a few Intermediate skiers, we may combine them with Novice skiers to form a full group, or with Intermediate skiers from another school.

What is the price for this program?

$52.50* per student per day, which includes:

• Instruction during the lesson
• Hill and lift access during the lesson
• Equipment rentals during the lesson 

*This is a substantial savings from a typical youth lesson, which runs at a starting price of $120 and does not include rentals.
