KIDS GRoup Lessons (Ages 4 to 12)
WHERE LEARNING MEETS ADVENTURE
Our Kids’ Group Lessons are designed with the whole family in mind. While your young skier or rider gets a path to success and boosts their confidence with the help of expert instructors, you’ll have time to explore the mountain and enjoy your own turns.
Kids Group Lessons are conveniently offered seven days a week and are held at our Kids Learning Center, located in the Cascade Lodge. Drop-off times start as early as 8:00 AM on weekends and holidays, and 8:30 AM on weekdays.
Frequently Asked Questions
Kids Group Lessons
Q. Are lift tickets and rentals included?
A. Lift tickets and rentals are included with Packages only. All other Kids Group Lessons will need a lift ticket and equipment if a package is not purchased. Lift tickets for kids 4 and under are free. You can buy tickets in advance online, at any ticket booth, Guest Services, or the Ski & Ride School Sales Desk. Rentals can be purchased in advance, at the Ski & Ride School Sales Desk or at the Rental Shop.
Q. What is the age range?
A. We accept children ages 4 to12-years-old for Kids Group Lessons. Children 13 and older go into Adult Group Lessons.
Q. How many kids will be in their class?
A. The groups sizes vary. They are set up so that the usual average class size is 4 people for 4 to 6-year-olds and 6 people for 7 to 15-year-olds. Group sizes of these numbers create a fun atmosphere while allowing for individual focus from the instructor.
Q. When and where do we drop off/pick up our kids?
A. All children registered for Group Lessons will need to be checked in, dropped off, and picked up at the Kid’s Learning Center in the Cascade Lodge on level 3 (the level just below the Rental Center). When dropping your child off, you will be given a wristband that you or another adult you have designated will show the Ski & Ride School supervisor upon pick-up. If the wristband is lost or forgotten, you will be required to show picture ID. Late arrivals may not be able to join a lesson in progress or receive a refund.
