Mt. Ellen Kids Lessons
Weekend kids’ lessons on classic teaching terrain
Children’s Group Lessons at Mt. Ellen offer a fun, focused way for kids ages 6-12 to improve their skiing or riding every weekend. Led by Sugarbush’s professional instructors, these two-hour sessions use Mt. Ellen’s excellent teaching terrain to build confidence and technique for all ability levels.
Unlike our full-day Schoolhouse programs at Lincoln Peak, Mt. Ellen’s lessons are streamlined and flexible, ideal for families who want to balance learning with family time on the slopes. Full-day participation is available (morning and afternoon blocks), though lunch and midday supervision are not included. Check-in happens right inside the Mt. Ellen Base Lodge, and lessons meet on-snow outside.
Space is limited and lessons often sell out, advance reservations are required at least 72 hours before your lesson date.
