Snow Sports Programs for 23-24
This season again, please make your Snow Sports reservation at least 24 hours in advance, either online or by phone. Day of Walk-ins availability will be limited.
Snowbowl Snow Sports School’s goal is to help you have more fun on the snow. We have all sorts of lessons and programs, whether this is your first time on the snow or you just need a few tips.
When you are riding the Grizzly lift and you see some skiers or boarders blasting down the Grizzly Chute, chances are they started out in one of our Snow Sports School programs. Our kids programs are designed to teach kids of all abilities to have fun and be safe, while learning how to get down the slopes better. Three day Christmas Club starts on December 27 and is an excellent “warm-up” for the season and our six-week programs. This season, prior to the start of the official the six-week program, we will have an orientation, registration and “mini lesson-evaluation” on the weekend of January 6th and 7th. This is free and optional but will give the kids and parents a chance to check out the program. We will start putting kids into their initial groups so we can start off the actual 6-week session without registration delays. If you can not make it on the first weekend, registration will still be open during the first weeks of the programs. The program will continue for the six weeks after January 13th and 14th ending February 17th and 18th. Sorry there are no refunds or make up days for missed lessons. Early registration deadline for the 6-week kids programs is Sunday, January 7th.

Our FWO (For Women Only) program is back for the 32nd season and continues to provide outstanding and fun instruction for women of all abilities whether they alpine ski, telemark or snowboard. FWO will be offered on Friday afternoons starting January 5th and will for seven Fridays ending February 16th. Participants have their choice of six out of seven Fridays. Sorry there will not be refunds or make up days for missed days.
We can also put together a special “customized” group for you. If you’ve been skiing for years and really don’t want to do the private lessons or group lesson “thing,” this just might be what you’re looking for. Grab some friends and pick something you want to work on such as improving your parallel turns or mastering crud in the bowls. One-day programs or multi-week programs are possible. Stop by the Snow Sports desk and we can talk about what you have in mind.
Don’t forget to register early before the early registration deadline (about a week before the program starts-exact dates are on registration pages) to save time and the late registration fee of $10.00. We will be putting the initial groups together before the first day so we can get out on the snow as soon as possible. Groups will be adjusted based on a skier’s ability and strength during the program.
Helmets
Helmets do provide significant protection. They dramatically reduce forces applied to the skull and the brain and thus reduce the potential for injuries. We encourage skiers to wear helmets. For more information about helmets, visit the National Ski Areas Association website www.lidsonkids.org . This site provides useful information on helmet sizing, research, articles and other useful information.
