Lessons

Yes, we STRONGLY recommend lessons for first timer and new skiers and riders. We have options for all ages and ability levels. If you are signed up for a lesson or would like to sign up for a lesson, please go straight to the Rental Shop! That is where you sign in/up for lessons, get your rentals and get your lift ticket.

If you are taking a lesson, plan to arrive at Showdown with plenty of time before your lesson starts. We recommend giving yourself 45-60 minutes to park, get through the Rental Shop, get booted up and out to the learning area.
