Heavenly Valley Ski Lessons and Snowboard Lessons

Master the slopes on a set of skis, or get extreme and trade your skis in for a snowboard! Ski lessons can help you start your journey. Whether you are a beginner, or just want some tips to improve your skills, we can arrange the level of instruction that is right for you.

We suggest the following:

Plan on taking a series of lessons instead of the one-shot go-for-broke ski lesson. This is very important!
Avoid large groups, where you may find the instructor spending most of the time with the weakest skier. A private lesson with a competent instructor is worth the extra expense.
Be truthful to yourself -- don't under- or over estimate your ability. Clearly communicate your abilities, problems, goals and fears to the instructor at the start of the ski lesson. The instructor should be able to discuss your situation and be able to structure the lesson specifically with your needs in mind.
Your instructor should be able to examine your equipment (all of it) and make knowledgeable suggestions regarding your equipment. A good instructor will pick out equipment problems during the ski lesson and offer suggestions.
Make sure the instructor gets to see you ski at the beginning of the lesson as well as several other times during the lesson. It should be followed with constructive comments.
After observing you, the instructor should be able to set clear objectives for that lesson and work enthusiastically towards it. Make sure they tell you what you're working towards!
Skiing behind an instructor will do wonders for your skiing, but usually that's not what you've paid for. A few times during a lesson are enough. Rather jump in behind an instructor when he is free skiing.
Feel free to tell the instructor when you're standing around chatting too much. Too much stopping -- let's go!
You should come away from the lesson with specific goals and exercises to practice later. Make sure these are communicated to you in clear layman terms.
If you have a poor ski lesson, see the Ski School Director and inform them of your complaints.

Our customer service professionals will assist you in choosing everything from the equipment and lodging you will need for your adventure, to the ski lessons that will help make the overall experience even more enjoyable!
