What's My Ability Level?

---|---|---|
You know a thing or two like how to put equipment on and how to move around the flats. But you’re ready to move on from comfortable gliding, stopping, and making simple direction changes on the easiest learning terrain. |
You’re comfortable and confident on all greens and some blues. Linking turns of varying sizes and controlling speeds by adjusting your line with little need for braking is not a problem. |
Competent, confident, and consistent describes your speed and technique. You’re already skiing or riding with flair and offensive tactics on most terrain, carving arc-to-arc turns on easier groomed runs, and handling moderate mogul runs with good speed and rhythm. |
What You Need
Your comfort and safety is our number one priority, so review the following items to ensure you are fully equipped for your ski or snowboard lesson.
All guests must have a pass or a lift ticket to participate in a lesson. Best pricing is available online, in advance.
Waterproof snow pants and gloves or mittens are required to keep you warm and dry. Goggles are also required to protect your eyes from the cold air and block UV light.
A winter sport helmet is required for all lesson participants aged 14 and under, and 18 and under in designated children’s lessons. We strongly encourage helmet use for all ages. Helmets can be included along with a rental order or rented separately.

- Snow Socks: Should go to just under the knee. Generally labelled to keep your feet warm and should be breathable.
- Layers and/or Jacket: Based on comfort level, it is recommended to have one fleece layer and/or a snow jacket on top of your base layers.
