Private Ski Lessons
​Personalized one-on-one instruction, especially on a consistent basis, is the best way to learn this sport. Call or submit the form below to schedule a one hour lesson (try to schedule several days in advance). Cost is $80 for the first person and $35 dollars for each additional person.  

We also have a 3 lesson private package for $200 which is a great way to cement and expand upon the skills you learn in the first lesson. If you sign up in advance each lesson is only $66. Only available for 1 person private lessons.

Intro Ski Package
Galena Lodge Ski School has a very affordable lesson package for first-time skiers.  This one-time offer costs $95 for one person and $60 for each additional person and includes your ski pass & ski rentals for the day as well as a one-hour private lesson.  If two people are planning to rent and buy a pass anyway, the lesson is barely more.
