Junior and Adult Ski Lessons
Ski classes for Mogul Mites (4-5 yrs old), Juniors
(6 - 13 yrs old) or Adults are available for all skiing abilities.
Each session offers between four and six hours of instruction and
classes are divided into the following levels:
Mogul Mites and Meisters (4-5 yrs old): Introduce your child to
skiing in a positive and FUN way! Small class sizes (max. of 6 per instructor)
are designed to provide individual attention to your child. Each class is one hour
long. The Mites class is for the 4 to 5 year old child just starting
out while Meisters is for the more advanced 4 to 5 year old skier.
Discover: If you've never skied before, then
our Discover program is the one to start out with. This program is designed to introduce
your child to the sport of skiing, get comfortable with the equipment and get you
up and down on our Bunny Hill and Porcupine Hill.
Green: This level is offered for those who
have skiied before but are still more comfortable on the Bunny Hill. By the end
of the class, each skier should be able to ski unassisted on our Bunny Hill and
Porcupine Hill, and will be introduced to the TBar and possibly even the chairlift.
Blue: In the blue level, we perfect the snowplow
turn and introduce you to the basic parallel turn.
Black: In this level, our instructors will
assist you in improving your parallel turns including: balance, pivoting feet, edge
control and linked turns.
Red: This level is designed to fine-tune the
skills of the expert skier.
Terrain Park Ski Lessons
Sunridge Terrain Park ski lessons are a new program, designed to introduce skills
and knowledge to those who are interested in trying terrain parks for the first
time, or for improving their skills in the park.
The lessons require that the skier is a "black" level skier or can demonstrate strong
parallel ski turns with good balance and confidence. The minimum age is 8 years
old, twin tip skis are strongly recommended and a helmet is mandatory.
Terrain Park group lessons are four lesson programs offered on the same dates as our regular ski lessons (except during the Christmas break). Private lessons are also available on request.
Small Terrain Park (Novice): Offered on Saturdays at 10am or Tue/Thu at 6pm.
Skier's should be able to easily link turns, and must have completed a minimum of the black level lessons or have equivalent ability. A novice terrain park skier has never ridden a jump, rail or box before and is ready to start riding small jumps, rails, boxes and learning grabs.
Medium Terrain Park (Intermediate): Offered on Saturday at 1:30pm
Prerequisite is completion of the Small Terrain Park level or be able to comfortably ride small jumps, perform grabs and sliding on "ride-on" rails and boxes. An Intermediate terrain park skier is ready to start learning 180's, styling grabs and jumping onto flat rails/boxes.
Large Terrain Park (Advanced): Waiting list registration
The skier must have completed the Medium Terrain Park course and is ready to spin 180's on medium jumps, learn 360's and jump onto down rails and boxes.
The cost of the group Terrain Park lessons is $145 per person for four hour-and-a-half lessons. Please pre-register by phone or online for all lesson programs. Online registration is not available for the Advanced Terrain Park lessons.
