Group Lessons

For ages 8+, Group lessons are a great way to learn a new sport and meet new people. Over the course of two-hours, group lessons will introduce you to your equipment, cover the fundamentals and movements of the sport, and aim to get you sliding and stopping safely on the snow. If you feel uncomfortable in a group setting, or would like more personalized instruction, we recommend a private lesson.

  • Midweek group lessons are available for in-person purchase only.

Other lesson times are available to purchase on site throughout the week on a first time first serve basis, as well as Snowboard Group lessons on weekends. More slots may open up to purchase online or on-site as they become available.

  • Are lift tickets and rentals included in this price? No, all lesson participants are required to have a valid lift ticket and appropriate equipment (i.e.: ski equipment for a ski lesson)
  • Where do I purchase these group lessons? You can purchase group lessons at our Skyline Ticket Windows (located in Skyline Pavilion), or at our Snowsports School headquarters (located in the Treehouse Children’s Facility behind the Mountain Inn).
  • Can I pre-book a group lesson for my family when I book my lodging? Group lessons can be purchased in limited quantity, in advance online, or in-person, day-off, at our Skyline Ticket Windows or Snowsports School Office. No group lessons can be purchased over the phone.
  • How many people will be in my group lesson? We strive to keep our groups to sizes of 6-8 participants per instructor.
  • If I don’t like the lesson once it’s started, can I get a refund? There are no refunds on group lessons.
  • Can my children take the group lesson with me? The minimum age for participants is 8 years old, and we will group each lesson by age. We recommend grouping adults with other adults and children with other children. The instructor will teach to the lowest ability level in the group, we do not want any participant feeling held back.
  • What if I booked a ski lesson but want to snowboard instead, or vice versa? Lesson availability is limited by instructor staffing. If you’d like to switch between skiing and snowboarding, your lesson reservation must also be changed. We cannot guarantee availability, and arriving with equipment that does not match your reservation may result in forfeiting your lesson.

 

NO refunds will be given for lessons purchased day-of. For lessons booked in advance online, you will receive a full refund if you cancel 48 hours prior to the start of your lesson.

What could be better than learning to ski with new friends? Children are placed in groups based on age and ability level. Our ski instructors are trained to meet your children’s needs. They know when it’s time for a break, a motivational snowball fight to keep spirits up or tips to improve their student’s skiing/snowboarding technique.

Wintergreen Women's Ski Camp

Build confidence, improve technique, and expand the terrain you’re comfortable skiing. This multi-week program focuses on stronger edge control, better speed management, confident turns on steeper groomed terrain, and increased comfort in bumps and variable snow conditions. You’ll see measurable skill progression while learning how to adapt your skiing to the conditions of the day and confidently explore more of the mountain.

Targeted coaching from the same highly experienced, PSIA-certified female instructor each week provides consistent, individualized feedback, video analysis, and valuable practice time on less crowded slopes. You’ll also ski with the same group of women throughout the program, creating a supportive environment where friendships can grow and instruction stays focused.

Each session includes access to a private space to gear up together and wraps up with hot chocolate, video review, and a look back at the morning’s wins.

*Prerequisite: You must currently be comfortable skiing Blue terrain.
*All participants must provide their own lift tickets and rentals. Advance registration is required.
*Clinics are limited to five participants for a personalized small-group experience and require a minimum of three participants to operate.
