Learn-at-your-own-pace lessons (offered on weekends and holidays) focus on students migrating from one learning station to another (5 in all; Orientation, Slide, and Glide, Wedge and Stop Flying Jenny and Riding the Chair), allowing the guests to progress at their pace. This method allows for those individuals who master certain skills at an advanced pace to move quickly through the stations but also allows unlimited practice time for those having challenges in a given area to have ample practice time. Students can even take a break and return and rejoin a station at any time. If you are learning to ski and ride with friends or family, you can make the choice of whether to progress together as a group or at your own pace individually.

(always easy to shed a layer if you get too warm)
Wear a Helmet
Be sun smart – Wear Sunscreen & Lip Protection
Keep hands & feet warm (especially with young kids)
Avoid cotton socks
Don’t tuck your pants into your ski boots
Don’t wear sunglasses when it is snowing
(goggles work much better)
Stay away from non-waterproof outer layers
