Special group pricing is available for members of The Mountaineers. Please read the description below for important information on fees and dates associated with these lessons.**
Join us - one of the the oldest and largest back-country focused ski instruction programs in the US. The focus is ski skills improvements - skills that you can take back-country. Free-heel or fixed heel - all are welcome! Enjoy a mid-week break. Learn new techniques. Enhance old ones.
Wednesday nights are uncrowded and we often get fresh tracks as Summit West is closed Mon-Wed until 4:30pm. We organize classes by ability level and discipline. There are separate groups and levels for A/T and for Telemark. Your instructors have years of back-country experience - as well as current teaching skills.
All skill levels from “never skied” to “advanced” are welcome for both A/T and Tele.
