Kids Group Lessons

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

It is recommended that all lessons, rentals 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. Walk-in availability may be limited. We highly recommend purchasing online in advance. Helmets are required for all lessons at Crystal Mountain. A $25 late fee will be charged for every 10 minutes parents are late for pick-up.

Crystal Kids is all about building confidence, skills, and friendships on the mountain. With guidance from our expert instructors, kids of all abilities will improve their technique while enjoying an action-packed day outside with their peers. Lessons include a short break for hot chocolate, a light snack, and restroom use.

To book your lesson, please call 231-378-4776.

Program Details

Adventure Cubs and Crystal Kids groups are limited in size and arranged by age and ability. Classes are initially coordinated based on the level of information provided in registration. Please be as accurate as possible regarding your child's experience on the snow. At the start of each session, an on-hill assessment of each student will be administered by our lead instructors and classes will be assigned. Class changes may be made to reflect the most appropriate class for your child. Age, ability and their comfort with terrain will be considered in making this decision. For kids who have specific, higher-level goals, we recommend a private lesson.

If your child is signed up for both the AM & PM sessions, the child must be picked up during their lunch break. The same instructor is not guaranteed. Parents must be on time for pick up. If you show up more than 10 minutes after your scheduled start time, your lesson will be moved to a later time if available or cancelled.
