If you child expresses an interest in one over the other, go with that.

We ask that you review the Skiing and Snowboarding Ability Level Descriptions  register your child accordingly.

you are welcome to make requests for this and we will do our best but can not guarantee. Lessons are grouped by ability level and in the order in which they are received. If a group of a particular ability level is full before a registration comes in, that registered student will be placed in the next available group of the same ability level

Students are released at the bottom of the trail that class ended on. Please arrange a meeting place with your child before the lesson begins. Lessons may begin and end on different slopes. Stress to your children where you will be when their lesson is completed.
