- Rental of specially designed beginner equipment and helmet
- Lift access in our beginner areas during the first lesson
- Upgraded lift access for the following lessons
Details
- 1st Timer packages include lift ticket, rental equipment, and snow sports helmet.
- Two-hour lessons available at Lincoln Peak daily at 10am, and at 1pm on weekends and holidays
- Check in at the Ski & Ride School Desk on the second floor of The Farmhouse building at Lincoln Peak
- Please plan to arrive at least 45 minutes early the first day to pick up rental equipment before the lesson starts.

- Participants may use terrain features and jumps while skiing and riding in a lesson.
- Wear water resistant snow pants and jacket suitable to weather and temperature, one pair of socks (polyester or ski designed socks), active-wear long underwear, gloves or mittens (mittens better when cold), goggles or sunglasses, hat (if not wearing a helmet), neck gaiter or face mask, and sunscreen
