Ski/Ride School

Hi everyone,

Welcome to winter 2009-10. We're excited about some changes to our lesson offerings and added some new options as well.

  • This year we're featuring a Learn-To-Ski/Snowboard package for first timers that includes 2 consecutive days of instruction, lifts and rental equipment for only $69. This deal is available for adults and children.

  • We've changed our Private Lessons slightly; you can now bring up to 5 people (of your choosing) for the same price. This is perfect for families or friends who want to take a lesson together.

  • Adult Semi-Private lessons have a 4 student maximum. Adults prefer a small semi-private experience and we wanted to make that happen every time.

  • Due to demand we've added an additional session for the Buckaroos (3 and 4 year olds) season long ski school program.

Please give us a call at (877)SKI-FISH or (406)862-2900 or send an email to skiboard@skiwhitefish.com with questions or to make a reservation.

We look forward to seeing you soon,

-- Bill Cubbage, Snow Sports Director

Whether it's your first time or you're an old pro, our routinely top-rated ski and snowboard instructors will take your skills to the next level.
