What’s my ability level?
Determine which ability level best describes your skiing/riding experience to help set you up for success with our Ski & Snowboard School
When signing up for a lesson, we ask what your ability level is to help us better understand your needs and goals for the duration of your lesson. For group lessons, it helps us to place with others who are skiing or snowboarding at the same level, providing everyone in the group with the best learning experience possible.
