Lesson Policies & Guidelines
- We gladly accept walk-in requests for lessons, but recommend reservations 24-48 hours in advance to arrange instructors.
- To give students the greatest possibility of success, large group lessons are organized by age and ability. This may mean splitting groups of families or friends.
- The success of participants ages 6 and under varies greatly, depending on each child's motivation and physical ability. Our primary goal is creating a safe, positive experience that instills a desire to ski or snowboard again. As such, we may modify or shorten the lesson to accommodate needs.
- We reserve the right to reschedule or cancel lessons if conditions are unsafe.
- We always attempt to honor requests for specific instructors for private lessons, but occasionally requested instructors are unavailable. We are happy to either substitute an alternate instructor, or reschedule for a different time.

Ages 6-14 | Saturday Mornings
Learn to ski and snowboard program Volunteer instructors work closely with students and parents to instill a love of skiing and snowboarding. Using the PSIA/USSA training for our parents/coaches, your kids will learn the latest techniques and tips to make skiing easier and more fun. At the heart of the program is family involvement. Parents are encouraged to volunteer as coaches, and in doing so learn skills to improve their own skiing technique. If you have any questions, please contact Program Director Steve Pierce 715-209-3930, or email him by clicking HERE Saturday Schedule
