If you're a first timer or a seasoned expert, our instructors can customize instruction to expand your skills and help you reach your goals! If availability allows, we recommend requesting your favorite instructor. Lessons begin on December 12, 2026.

Lift tickets and rental are not included in lesson price and must be purchased separately for each participant. 

It is recommended that all lessons, rental and lift tickets be reserved a minimum of seven days in advance. Having a lesson does not ensure that rental equipment is available which must be purchased separately. We highly recommend purchasing online in advance. Helmets are required for all lessons at Crystal Mountain. Children taking a lesson must be at least 3 years old and able to use the restroom on their own. A $25 late fee will be charged for every 10 minutes parents are late for pick-up.
