Our note

This is the one to ask about for a group that has never skied, because it rolls the gear, the lesson and the beginner tow into one booking. Two of their pages price it differently, so confirm the figure when you book. Lessons are arranged through the ski shop by email.

What the children do

A beginner package that includes a handle tow ticket, rentals and a one hour lesson. The lessons page and the tickets page give two different prices for it, $48 per person on one and $47.25 plus tax on the other. The site says prices do not include tax.

Put on rented skis or a snowboard, spend an hour with an instructor, and ride the beginner handle tow on the ticket the package includes.

Good to know

The package covers gear, a lesson and the beginner tow in one, but the price is given two ways on the site and no group rate, capacity or notice period is published. Ask about all of those in the same email.

Sources disagree. Two of their pages give different days. One says Saturday, Sunday and select Mondays, the other says Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. Mondays are the days school groups get, so settle the date when you book.

Sources disagree. The beginner package is priced two ways on their site, $47.25 plus tax on one page and $48 on the other. Ask which one applies when you book.
