Ski/Snowboard Program

Join WAS at Snowbird this winter for ski and snowboard lessons starting December 14th through April 11th (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!
