This year, we are offering 4 categories for you to choose from. You will have the opportunity to select your choice and if you so desire you can change groups during the 5 week program:

Loving the Greens - Want to learn to ski so you aren't on the sidelines while your friends and family have all the fun? This is your group! 5 weeks of instruction that will take students from true beginners to feeling comfortable on all our green slopes. Blues could also be on the menu for those feeling adventurous by the end of the session. 

Cruising the Blues - Feel confident on the Greens and want to tackle the Blues? Over five weeks this group will give students the opportunity to feel comfortable at the next level and help you build confidence in changing conditions. 

Conquering the Blacks - This group will take students from Blues to Blacks by building skills to allow students to negotiate advanced terrain. Instructors will offer tips and techniques to use when you face the steeps. 

Mastering the Bumps - Ready to be let in on a secret?? Moguls are some of the most fun terrain on any mountain. This group will end the five weeks armed with tactics that make moguls marvelous. Not all moguls are on advanced slopes. Lessons will span the mountain as students gain skills that will help them master bumps wherever they might be found.  

You may select the group of your choice. If during the 5-week session you feel you want to try something else you are welcome to change groups. Each group will set goals for that day's session and your instructor will work to help each participant accomplish that goal.
