Without question one-on-one instruction is the fastest way to improve your skills. Your private instructor, who becomes a new-found friend before you realize it, will lead you quickly to higher achievement. All levels of skiers and snowboarders can benefit from a private lesson.
We offer private lessons on both Dollar and Bald Mountain for ages 3 and up. We suggest beginners and low intermediates (Levels 1-4) skiers and snowboarders to start at Dollar Mountain. Dollar offers gentle, treeless terrain and provides the beginner to intermediate skier with the perfect environment to learn.
We suggest intermediate to expert (levels 5-9) skiers and snowboarders take a lesson at Bald Mountain, which offers more challenging and diverse terrain.
For snowboarders, we also offer private Half Pipe, Freestyle & Freeride Instruction - A private one-on-one experience designed to teach you the ins and outs of the half pipe and start you on the way towards big air and tricks.
You can have a group of 4 additional family members or friends join your private lesson for a small additional fee per person. You’ll experience the best time if your group likes to ski or board on similar terrain and with closely matching speed.

Reservations
Advance reservations are recommended for all Sun Valley SnowSports School private lessons throughout the winter season. Advanced reservations are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED during the December holiday and Presidents' Day week where both private and group lessons often fill up three weeks in advance. The holiday periods for the 2007-2008 are as follows: December 18, 2007 to January 6, 2008 and February 15-24, 2008. Enrollment will be on a space available basis, and we do not guarantee the ability to accommodate late reservation requests.
Cancellations / Changes / Refunds
Because we have reserved a space for you with a specialized instructor to match your specific ability level, changes and cancellations not made at a minimum of 24 hours before the start of your lesson are non-refundable and your credit card will be charged for 100% cost of your reserved lesson for that day. The attached downloadable form further explains our policies. We do not offer refunds for tickets already purchased. |
