Everyone taking a Group Lesson must have a lift ticket valid for the time during which their lesson occurs. The ticket must be purchased before the Group Lesson is booked at a ticket window. It is recommended that you arrive 2 hours in advance of the lesson you wish to take if you need to pick up rental equipment. This extra time allows you to be sized appropriately for your equipment and ready to start your lesson on time. There is an option to pick up rental equipment after 7PM on the evening before your scheduled visit. The person booking the lesson should know the full name & birthdate of the individuals that will be receiving the lesson.
