Ski/Snowboard Program

Join WAS at Snowbird this winter for ski and snowboard lessons starting December 13th through April 10th (dates subject to change). Lessons include a lift ticket, instruction, and rentals or adaptive equipment. Thank you for your patience as we navigate this time and continue to update our procedures to provide a safe and enjoyable experience to each of our students!

Lessons are available at Snowbird Resort Monday-Sunday, at Sundance Resort Wednesday-Thursday, and at Alta on request Monday-Friday. Lessons held at resorts besides Snowbird, Sundance, and Alta are offered at full-day pricing only. On request, WAS will provide lessons at Alta, Solitude, Brighton, Sundance, or other resorts with the approval of each.
