Teaching the next generation how to enjoy the slopes.

Now Offering Group Lessons
Our instructors are certified by the Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA) and have the highest level of teaching expertise. They are highly skilled in turning an enthusiastic first-timer into a lifelong skier or snowboarder. Instructors also help teach kids advanced techniques for continued growth in the sport.
Top 5 Reasons to Enroll Your Child in a Lesson
- Ski School is Fun!: While learning the sport is the focus, our team knows how to transform a lesson into an exciting day on the mountain filling with snowballs, smiles and perhaps a yodle or two.
- Professional Instruction: Let us do the teaching. Our instructors are trained to teach children the fundamentals of skiing and snowboarding. As we are sure you have learned with all the recent in-home schooling, there is less stress, and often kids learn best when a non-parent is doing the teaching.
- Learn and Progress More Quickly: We know the tips and tricks that will help your child excel faster, whether just starting out or growing their technique.
- Get More Chair Lift Rides: Lesson participants get Express Line access at lifts.
- A Focus on Safety: From loading the chairlift to learning about the Skier Responsibility Code, our instructors teach you how to enjoy the mountain safely.
- Bonus: While we show the kids a great time, you can enjoy the mountain on your own. Go ski the steeps that your kids are not quite ready for or perhaps take in a bit of solitude Sugar Bowl can offer.
