Saturday Wolf Pack is a multi-week progressive program for all levels of skiers/snowboarders ages 7-17, with group instruction offered at 10AM on Saturdays (4- and 6-week session available). This program is designed to help each student progress to the next level using controlled skiing/riding. Lift ticket and equipment rental are not included in lesson fee.

• Students are grouped according to ability.
• Lessons are offered for 1 – 1.5 hours depending on class size.
• Each lesson builds off of the previous week.
• Students must attend each session in order to stay in sync with the group.
• Make-up sessions will not be offered.

The Mommy/Daddy & Me ski program is for ages 4 – 6 including one parent or guardian. Choose the same start time for 4 consecutive Fridays or Sundays in January or February. Lessons are 1-hour in length.

Parent/guardian must already be a proficient skier. Child can start at any level. Parent/guardian will assist the instructor by getting their child back on their feet after a fall, helping them get up the rope tow/Poma and noticing when it’s time for a snack/bathroom break. For the adult, the major benefit of this program is to absorb the instructional language and techniques to support your child on the slopes long after the program is complete.

• Session 1  •  Fridays, January 6, 13, 20, 27  •  1 PM, 2 PM or 3 PM
• Session 2  •  Sundays, January 8, 15, 22, 29  •  9 AM, 10 AM, 11 AM, 1 PM or 2 PM
• Session 3  •  Fridays, February 3, 10, 17, 24  •  1 PM, 2 PM or 3 PM
• Session 4  •  Sundays, February 5, 12, 19, 26  •  9 AM, 10 AM, 11 AM, 1 PM or 2 PM

$300/1 child + 1 adult
Lift tickets are free for ages 6 and under. Parent/Guardian will receive a free rope-tow ticket or will be able to purchase a discounted Poma/Chair ticket on lesson days when the child is using advanced lifts. Equipment rental is not included in the lesson fee.

A fun, challenging 4-week program, Adventure Camp is for advanced skiers (parallel required) and snowboarders ages 12-17, on Saturdays in January. “Campers” must already be confident all mountain chair riders to qualify.

These are not exactly “lessons”. Each 2-hour session starts with a team building lunch followed by 90-minutes of “ski/ride til you drop” under the supervision of our most experienced teaching staff. Emphasis will be on refining skills and safety/courtesy on the hill.
