Class & Private Snowboard lessons are available to enthusiasts at any age and ability level. Our staff utilizes the Professional Ski Instructors of America and the American Association of Snowboard Instructors curriculum. The lessons are divided according to our guest's age and skill level. A brief description of these levels are listed below.

Ability Levels

Red Zone

This level is for our beginner snowboarders. Guests will learn the fundamentals needed to enjoy all of our beginner slopes and beginner lifts. The students will concentrate on getting to know their equipment, moving around on the flats, how to get up after a fall and how to successfully ride down the slopes under control using turn shape and stopping techniques. Students progress at a different pace, accomplishing turns may require more practice mileage from one student to another.

Green Zone

Snowboarders in the Green Zone will develop turning skills to confidently graduate to more challenging terrain and lifts. Snowboarders will become more proficient in developing turn shapes. Riders will start to feel a carving sensation versus a more skidded turn as the level of edging and balancing skills improve. Learning to safely ride the chairlifts and ride under control is the priority here.

Blue Zone

Letting the board do the majority of the work here. Guests will focus their efforts on developing a carved turn and graduate to the intermediate slopes and lifts. The terrain is more challenging and the speed increases with the slope of the hill. Students will develop the movements needed for dynamic carving technique.

Black Zone

Students will have all the tools in place to venture outside their comfort zone. The Black Zone is an “all terrain, in any conditions clinic”. Bumps, jumps, freestyle terrain park, halfpipe and gates may be included in this student centered lesson.
