Private Ski Lessons
​These lessons are for first time skiers, experienced skiers, and everyone in between. Personalized one-on-one instruction, especially on a consistent basis, is the best way to learn this sport. Our fantastic instructors are happy to help you improve your technique (in skate or classic skiing) whether it is your first time on snow or you have been skiing for decades and want to become a little more efficient. Please book a one hour lesson below. Cost is $80 for the first person and $35 dollars for each additional person.

When you sign up for a lesson you will receive a 20% off discount code for your rentals in your confirmation. 

INTRO PACKAGE DEAL - if this is your first time EVER taking a nordic ski lesson, you will receive a free ski pass for the remainder of the day courtesy of the BCRD. Combined with the 20% discount on rental gear, this is a great way to test out the sport.
