2011/12 Adult Ski & Ride Group Lessons
Due to the unseasonable weather in the last week and the resulting loss of terrain, The Ski & Ride School will close for the season on Sunday, March 25th. Until then Private and Group Lessons are available for ability Level V and up only, due to the limited terrain. Refunds will be made available for those who have paid for lessons past the closing date. Thanks to all of you who participated and made it such a successful program!
Far too often a guest will take a lesson the last day of their vacation. When they do this most will comment, "Why didn't I think of doing that on my first day here! What a difference that lesson made for me! I could have had so much more fun during my time here had I only taken a lesson first thing."
