Available Daily
Check-in for all lessons is at the Snowsports School Learning Center behind the Day Lodge near the base of Renate's Express. On-snow supervisors will be there to introduce students to their instructors.
We recommend purchasing your rental equipment in advance by booking online to ensure that the equipment is available.
If renting equipment, please check-in at least 60 minutes prior to your lesson starting time, or the evening before.
What to Wear
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.
What to Bring
In a lesson or guided experience, each guest must have a lift ticket or season pass. Buy your lift tickets early for the best price.
Will my child ride the chairlift along?
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.
