What To Expect:
Welcome to your ski or snowboard lesson with Fall Line Ski & Snowboard School! If you are about to join us for a lesson out on the slopes, there are a couple of things to know before you get here.
- Come dressed in snow pants, winter jacket, mitts or gloves & a face warmer/neck tube
- Long socks are ideal for wearing in your ski and snowboard boots, and pull them up as high as they go!
- Layer up underneath your jacket and snow pants - the temperature can be different at the bottom of the mountain (usually warmer) versus the top (usually colder)
- If it is below -15°C its a good idea to use hand warmers and toe warmers (these can be purchased in our Piste Off Retail Shop)
- If you have your own equipment, make sure it fits before your lesson starts. Otherwise precious time is wasted in your lesson fixing equipment
- Helmets are mandatory for everyone 18 and under, and highly recommended for 19+ too
- Goggles are recommended but not mandatory – they can be very helpful in the elements (sun, snow, wind) but also sometimes a nuisance when learning a new sport
