Frequently Asked Questions

What time should I arrive for my lesson / ski school?

How early do I have to wake up?

• Lessons start at 9:00 AM
• Arrive 1 hour prior to the scheduled start time of your lesson
• Allow extra time if you need rental equipment that morning
• Please remember to have all rental equipment with you when you arrive at the lesson meeting spot

Remember To Bring:

• Dress in layers. This allows you to adjust to changing temperatures
• Eye Protection; sunglasses or goggles
• Good Gloves - Your gardening gloves won't make the cut
• Good Socks - A well-fitted pair of wool or synthetic wool socks, not too thick. Cotton socks aren't recommended.
• Waterproof jackets and pants will keep you warmer and more comfortable
• Water - it's important to stay hydrated at dry altitude
• A Snack - something small that will fit in a pocket to keep up energy
• Credit Card or cash for payment and any food you may want to buy on the mountain
• Sunblock - the suns rays and its reflection off the snow are powerful at this altitude
• And of course: Skis, snowboard, boots, poles (you'd be surprised how many people forget)
