To add to the family fun, there is a separate ski-play area for youngsters. PSIA certified instructors offer private coaching and group classes in alpine skiing as well as snowboarding.

Snowsports Instruction

The Learning Center is not your typical snowsports school. Technical elements are taught as well as an emphasis on fun and safety. Our typically uncrowded slopes offer an ideal learning environment, and our classes are generally much smaller than at other mountains, so you will get plenty of one-on-one feedback from your ski or snowboard pro. The beginner's slope, named "Bungy," has been specifically engineered to provide novice skiers and riders with perfect terrain.

Most of our pros are certified by Professional Ski Instructors of America^®, so you'll always be in good hands. Private and semi-private instruction is available, as well as a number of special interest programs for adults and for children.
