When skiing or riding, layering works best; be sure to have a waterproof jacket and pants and plenty of layers underneath. Helmets, goggles, a neck gaiter or buff, and gloves are highly recommended for all of our skiing and riding guests.
While in a lesson, children ages 7 and older may ride a chairlift with or without an adult instructor present on the same chair. Please note some chairs may not be equipped with a restraint device. While in a lesson, children 6 and under will be accompanied on the chair by an instructor, host, or a capable adult.
Please notify the instructor if you do not want your child to ride a chairlift.
