*Class lessons do not include a lift ticket. Lift ticket or season pass must be purchased and worn by each lesson participant. Children ages 7 and younger receive free lift ticket with paid adult. Prices, lesson times, and instructor availability may change without notice. Call 585-374-6000 to confirm the day's lesson schedule.

Ski and snowboard instructors trained to teach junior lessons are the best! They are super friendly and enthusiastic about teaching children to become lifelong skiers and snowboarders! Our instructors love winter and look forward to sharing their skiing and snowboarding skills with students. More than just a lesson, our instructors will introduce students to a lifetime sport that is healthy, fun and family oriented, while concentrating on safety.

Participants meet in The Learning Center (TLC) located in the Sunset Lodge. TLC has a conveniently located ski and snowboard rental area for children participating in lessons. This eliminates parents and children travelling to the Rental Center for the child’s equipment. Parents may purchase lift tickets, rentals, and lessons for the whole family in TLC.

Children's lessons are offered for all levels, from first-timers, who want to see what the excitement is about, through advanced levels, who wish to be superstars. Ski class lessons are available for ages 4-12; snowboard class lessons are offered to children ages 6-12. Children are grouped by age and ability level with a small instructor-to-student ratio.  Lessons are offered daily and you may register your child for single or multiple lessons. Class lesson registration begins one hour prior to the start of the lesson time and is closed 15 minutes prior to the lesson time.  Register one hour prior to avoid missing your preferred lesson time as classes frequently sell out at peak times, especially if rentals are required.  Junior class lessons are 1.5 hours in length.

Supervision is provided from the registration time until the end of the lesson. At the end of class, children may enjoy a cup of hot chocolate while parents review their child’s progress with the instructor. Progress cards are given to parents to help track their child’s improvement throughout the winter.

Learn to Turn! We would like your first ski or snowboard experience to be great so we encourage all first time skiers and snowboarders, ages 13 and older, to take as many lessons as needed to reach your comfort level. Beginner lessons are included with the Ski or Snowboard Package. So when you are finished with your first lesson and still need a little help, simply show up at the Snowsports School Meeting Place at the next available lesson time and continue to Learn to Turn! Guaranteed!

Adult (ages 13+) lesson participants meet at the Snowsports School Meeting Place located between the Comet Express and Sunset lifts 10-15 minutes prior to the start of each lesson time.

Private lessons are based on instructor availability. Advance reservations are recommended. Call 585-374-6000.
