Our note
Ninety minutes on the snow plus the drive still eats a full school day once you count boots and bathroom stops. If you want the children out longer, the full day package is only ten dollars more.

What the children do

The traditional school group option at $89, taking in a 1.5 hour skiing or snowboarding lesson, a lift ticket and equipment rentals. The minimum booking size for school groups is 15 and lessons are mandatory for all educational school groups.

Take a ninety minute skiing or snowboarding lesson in a small class, then use the lift ticket for the rest of the time on the hill.

Good to know

Washrooms are on site and there are cafes and a cafeteria, but nothing is published about a room a class can eat a packed lunch in, or about where a bus parks. Ask about both, and note that vehicles need good winter tires and chains on the parkway.

Sources disagree. Their contact page gives two different notice periods for booking a lesson. One line says 48 hours ahead, another says 24 hours through the call centre with a cut off at noon the day before. Book as early as you can and get the date confirmed.
