Group Lessons
This is the easiest and most affordable way to learn how to ski. Lessons run 4 times a day (10am, 11:30am, 1:30pm and 3pm), they go for 1 1/2 hours and contain no more than 12 other people of similar ability. You can choose between skiing or snowboarding lessons. The most economical and convenient way to purchase a Group Lesson is by buying a Lift & Lesson Package. These packages combine your lift ticket with your group lesson.
