AGES 13 TO 17 – Teen Group Ski & Snowboard Lessons

Our Teens’ programs are taught by our most fun-loving and qualified coaches. Teens explore the mountain, checking out the terrain, based on ability levels, from the beginner areas and the easy groomers to the park & pipe and the bumps and steeps. Coaching happens and skills develop – but half the time teens won’t even know it’s happening because they are having so much fun!  Teens often choose to compete with new friends at such specials events as Lowdown Showdown park challenge, school race day and NASTAR. Groups are divided according to skill level and goals.

- Teen ski & snowboard group lessons for all abilities are available at Snowmass every day.
- Teen ski & snowboard group lessons are available at Buttermilk during peak holiday seasons*.
- Teen SKI only group lessons at Highlands during peak holiday seasons*.  Intermediate to expert abilities only! Teens must be able to ski parallel on blue terrain.

*Peak holiday dates for 2012/2013 season include weeks of Dec. 14-29, 2012; Feb. 9-22 & March 15-31, 2013.

Times: Full day 9:30am – 3:00pm. Plan to arrive at your lesson meeting area at least 15 minutes before lesson start time.

Rentals:  Equipment rentals are not included in kids lessons.  Allow at least an extra hour if you are renting equipment, or if your schedule allows, pickup your rentals the evening before your first day on the slopes.  We suggest renting from Four Mountain Sports located at nine locations throughout the bases of our four mountains. 

Helmets:  Helmets are REQUIRED for children ages 17 and under participating in Ski & Snowboard Schools programs.  While helmets may reduce the severity of a head injury, the best way to avoid accidents is to know and abide by the skier/rider responsibility code.
