Without question one-on-one instruction is the fastest way to improve your skills. Your private instructor, who becomes a new-found friend before you realize it, will lead you quickly to higher achievement. All levels of skiers and snowboarders can benefit from a private lesson.
We offer private lessons on both Dollar and Bald Mountain for ages 3 and up. We suggest beginners and low intermediates (Levels 1-4) skiers and snowboarders to start at Dollar Mountain. Dollar offers gentle, treeless terrain and provides the beginner to intermediate skier with the perfect environment to learn.
We suggest intermediate to expert (levels 5-9) skiers and snowboarders take a lesson at Bald Mountain, which offers more challenging and diverse terrain.
For snowboarders, we also offer private Half Pipe, Freestyle & Freeride Instruction - A private one-on-one experience designed to teach you the ins and outs of the half pipe and start you on the way towards big air and tricks.
You can have a group of up to 4 additional family members or friends join your private lesson for no additional charge. You’ll experience the best time if your group likes to ski or board on similar terrain and with closely matching speed.
