- Redeem your Lesson package at the desk, and once you have been fitted for equipment, the Lesson meeting area is outside on show behind the lodge.
- Lesson times are set by online reservations.
Winter weather in the mountains can change quickly, so being appropriately dressed for the day is an important step to take before your visit. Here are some recommendations to ensure you have the right gear:
