Lessons: your questions

Can my 4-year-old join their older brother's lesson?

Not in the same lesson: private lessons start at age 6. Four and five year olds take Ski and Play, 2 hours just for them, at the same time. If they really need to learn together, call the ski school.

What's in the lift, lesson and rental bundle?

A 2.5-hour private lesson, a day of rental gear and a full-day lift ticket for each person, ages 6 and up. Helmets are extra: $12 a day.

Are lessons private?

Yes: lessons for visiting guests are private, priced by the size of your group.

How far ahead should we book?

Most lessons are booked about a week ahead. The second half of December and Presidents' week sell out.

Why can't I book Ski and Play or 5 hours on some Saturdays?

From Jan 2 to Mar 20 they aren't sold on Saturdays (Sat, Feb 13 is open), when the local kids' programs run. 2.5-hour lessons and bundles run every day.

Bigger group, or not sure? Call the ski school: (307) 201-5666.
