These lessons are for beginners through intermediates (levels 2-4) and focus on building a solid foundation of fundamental skills and movements necessary for efficient snowboarding. This is where you'll begin to develop and build upon the skills that every snowboarder needs to explore the mountain. Let our Pro's instill confidence while they take your riding to the next level, safely and effectively.

Level 2: Experience the fun and excitement of skiing or snowboarding with the ability to comfortably control where you go and how fast or slow you go on our beginner terrain. For snowboarders you should be able to traverse on both edges of the snowboard and perform a falling leaf. You will continue to develop the skills to allow you to consistently link turns.

Level 3: This is where the freedom of skiing or snowboarding begins! You will begin to explore more of the mountain and develop confidence on steeper terrain, learning more about speed control through the use of different size and shape turns.

Level 4: Now you're starting to feel confident that you can control your speed and location on the mountain. It's time to start learning the more advanced techniques of turning! In this clinic you will explore more of the mountain and be introduced to blue terrain. You'll ski or ride on all green terrain and on the gentler of the blue runs.

This is a lesson program specifically for higher-level skiers. These workshops focus on specific skill levels and individual goals, such as fine-tuning a parallel turn, introduction to bumps, dealing with black diamonds and, finally, the all-mountain workshop that addresses all terrain and conditions. The performance series is a true departure from the traditional ski school lesson. So much so that we guarantee you will ski 10,000 vertical feet (that's about 8 runs off our upper mountain lift network).

Workshop: Beyond Parallel
The focus of this workshop will be the fundamental skills required to consistently make parallel turns with rhythm and style. We will also help you develop a strong understanding and use of the ski poles and various turns. This workshop is a must if you aspire to make skiing effortless! (Level 5 – 6)

Workshop: Dealing with the Diamonds
This workshop will make the start and finish of your turn a priority. These two parts of a turn are critical elements on black diamond terrain. The ability to link parallel turns with a variety of turn shapes, link turns with more speed (but still in control) and link parallel turns with a functional pole plant are all parts of dealing with the diamonds. By mastering this technique, becoming an all mountain skier should be an exciting and enjoyable process. (Level 6 – 7)

Workshop: Moguls and Beyond
Where do moguls come from? "Well…I’m not sure, but know I don’t want to ski where they are!" If you feel this way about bumps or are looking to expand your range of skills as a skier, this is the workshop for you. To ski bumps you need to have a solid short radius turn, a strong pole plant and a tactical approach to skiing. When you finish the Moguls and Beyond workshop, you will. Your skills as a skier will improve dramatically, and you'll find many new areas to enjoy on the mountain. (Level 6 – 7)

Workshop: All-Mountain Workshop
This is where you take all the skills you have and refine them to become an all mountain skier. Whether conditions are like a postcard or sun-baked crust, our Pros will help you develop the most effective movements to deal with whatever the mountain has in store. You'll ski moguls, steeps powder, groomed…you name it! Our Pros will show you some of the best places to ski on our mountain, and at the same time, show you a thing or two that to take your skiing to the next level. This workshop is not for the faint of heart. Advanced and stronger skiers only! (Level 8+)
