Multiweek Ski/RIDING Lessons

We're back!  Another season of 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 from the Summit@Snoqualmie.  We offer multiple sections grouped by ability level and discipline and strive to keep class size small.

How signup works!  When you register here (no fee) with the Mounties for the class,  we will get notified and within a day or 2, send you the link and password to Register/Pay the Summit@Snoqualmie.
