FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (LESSON PROGRAMS)


Q) What kind of clothing should I wear?

A) Layers. Layers of appropriate winter outer wear, waterproof gloves, no loose articles of clothing, and goggles are recommended. We also highly reccomend that all students wear a properly fitted helmet.


Q) Should my child ski or snowboard?

A) It probably depends on the child’s interest. It doesn’t matter which sport the child does first. Ski classes are available for younger children – we start at age 3. Snowboard classes are available for kids in first grade and up. Children can usually pick up skiing faster than snowboarding, however the learning curve is usually faster for snowboarding.


Q) Can I switch to skiing from snowboarding and vice versa?

A) Yes, we will allow you to switch programs, however only during the first two weeks of the program.


Q) How are children placed in classes?

A) On the first day, children are tested and placed into classes according to age and ability. You may speak to the ski school supervisors at the lesson time if you have questions.


Q) Where do the classes meet?

A) Ski classes meet in front of the rental shop at the big Ski School sign. Snowboard classes meet between the Snowdance double chair lift and Sundance triple chair lift.


Q) Where do I meet my child at the end of class?

A) 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.


Q) Can I watch the lesson?

A) Yes, but you must stand at the bottom of hill and out of the way of skiers / snowboard on the hill.
