Multiweek Ski/RIDING Lessons

Note:  we have moved the Series to Thursday night for 2025.

We're back for another season - skill improvement in the discipline of your choice.   Sign up for multi-week lessons held on [hopefully] six consecutive Thursday evenings.  All class sections emphasize skills/drills/maneuvers that can improve your in-area and out-of-area  (back-country) sliding, be it steep, crud or powder. Lessons are taught by the PSIA-affiliated Summit Learning Center instructors at the Summit-at-Snoqualmie.  We offer multiple sections grouped by ability level and discipline and strive to keep class size small.

Payments will be made directly to the Summit at Snoqualmie to receive the discounted price.  When you register for the class,  we will send you the link and the password.  Look for email from  gwGOski@gmail.com for this info.
