Discover the Sports

Discover skiing and snowboarding in a social and relaxed environment with this new for 2025 lesson!

We love to teach our new guests the basics of the sports – how to put on rental boots, how to get into your bindings, and taking the first “steps” in our discovery area.

Guests will learn these and other basics plus get themselves confident for the bunny hill and beyond. The next step from discovery is a group or private lesson or our ever popular Level Up! series.

Discover your love of skiing or snowboarding in a two-hour lesson with other guests of a similar age. You can’t go wrong here! 

You will learn the basics – getting fitted for your equipment, making your way over to the beginner area, and meeting your ski or snowboard instructor. You will learn how to stop and turn both ways. Keep in mind, everyone progresses at a different pace so, as long as you are having fun, you are having a successful first day.

You will spend this lesson in the Discover Area and possibly the Bunny Hill. Following your lesson, we strongly encourage you to spend the rest of your day practicing what you have learned while it is fresh.
