Know Before You Go:

Welcome to your ski or snowboard lesson with Red Mountain Snow 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 to be outside! Lesson participants should come prepared in warm winter jackets, snow pants, mitts or gloves & a face warmer/neck tube. We recommend long ski socks and wool or fleece base layers to wear underneath your clothes. Hand warmers and toe warmers can be purchased in our Piste Off Retail Shop.
  • Helmets are mandatory for everyone 18 and under, and highly recommended for everyone 19+. Goggles are recommended to help with snow, sun and wind.
  • If you have your own equipment, please ensure it fits before your lesson starts. If you are renting equipment, arrive an hour early to get through the rental shop before your lesson starts.
  • All program participants are required to have a lift ticket or season’s pass on them during a lesson.

  • Red Mountain Snow School is located in a log cabin between the Magic Carpet and Silverlode Chairlift. Come check in with our Snow School staff 5-10 minutes before your lesson starts and we will show you where to meet your instructor.
  • All lessons will start promptly at the scheduled start time. Allow yourself enough time to pick up pre-purchased lift tickets or rental equipment before heading to your lesson.
  • Meet your instructor at outside the signed meeting zone/flag approximately 10 minutes before your scheduled lesson. The flag colour corresponds to your ability level (see our Ability Level chart if you are unsure).
  • Your lesson will end back in the same location where you started. Please note that all children 12 and under must be picked up at the end of their lesson.
