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.
