Snowboard Lesson Levels

Snowboard classes for Ridge Riders (5 to 7 year olds) and Juniors/Adults (8 and older) are available for all abilities. Classes are divided into the following levels.

Ridge Riders: You are never too young to start snowboarding. Ridge Riders will introduce your child to the fun sport of snowboarding and is for children ages 5 to 7 years old.

Discover: If you've never snowboarded before, then our Discover program is the one to start out with. This program is designed to introduce your child to the sport of snowboarding, 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 snowboarded before but are still more comfortable on our beginner hills.. By the end of the class, each student should be able to ride unassisted on our gentle Bunny Hill, Porcupine Hill and have been introduced to the intermediate runs.

Blue:In this level, we perfect the novice turn and introduce you to the basic turn. By the end of a session, each boarder should be comfortable boarding our beginner and intermediate runs.

Black:In the black level, our professional instructors will assist you in improving your basic turns and work on skills such as balance, pivoting, edge control and linked turns.

Red: This level is designed to fine-tune the skills of the advanced boarder and perfect carving turns and higher-level maneuvers.
