The Family Private Experience

At Snow Sport University, we’re thrilled to present our popular Guided Family Experience, a unique opportunity for your family to bond over the exhilaration of skiing and snowboarding together. This special offering allows the whole family to share in the joy of the slopes in one cohesive, private lesson, regardless of whether they ski or snowboard.

Our expert multi-disciplined coaches specialize in not just teaching new skills but also in making every moment on the mountain unforgettable. They’ll guide your family through choosing the best terrain, finding the most inviting snow, and engaging every family member. They’re skilled at balancing group dynamics, ensuring that while the kids feel a sense of independence, they remain connected and engaged with the family unit.
