SNOW SPORT UNIVERSITY PROGRAMS — ages 3 to 20 Advance registration required at the Ski School Desk ext. 1392 or the Guest Service Desk, ext. 1293.
Private Ski or Snowboard Lessons Beginner to expert, individual attention will help you take your skills to the next level fast, while having fun! Private coaching can give you the boost you need to move to the next level in your skiing or riding and start exploring more of the mountain. It’s just you and your personal coach, understanding your needs, helping you set your goals, and coaching you to a higher level. You can request your choice of instructor. Available for multiple hours — up to 6 hours, and up to 5 people. Level 1-4 meet at the Gazebo, level 5-9 meet at the Sterling Mtn. Ski School building.
Mom & Me, Dad & Me Ski & Snowboard Private Lessons 1-hour semi-private lesson. Get a look inside an SSU Instructors’ “bag of tricks!” Coaches will share teaching strategies with Mom or Dad to assist the parent in teaching a little one to ski or ride. Emphasis is on fun and strengthening the parent-child bond. The parent must be an intermediate or better skier or rider, and your child should be a First Timer. Meet at Sir Henry’s Learning Hill deck.
6-Hour Private Instruction or Guided Tour This program is ideal for the individual or group that wants personal, private instruction and guiding for the entire day.

Camp Lunch Menu
Children and parents are greeted by coaches as they’re grouped with similar ages and ability levels. Our youngest campers meet indoors where coloring supplies and toys help them settle in, while older campers meet outside to hit the slopes quickly! We suggest you arrive early to get your child settled and get to know your child’s instructor. Fun on the mountain! While first timers are introduced to their equipment and play boot games to begin, most campers head right out to the hill to get skiing and snowboarding as soon as possible. Campers stay with their coaches as they head inside to warm up and refuel for the afternoon! Building on the morning session, the afternoon is often the most fun as campers get to explore the mountain and put the skills they’ve built into practice! Engaging professional entertainment is scheduled throughout the week to end the day with laughs and learning. For older campers, drop off in Teen Alley is available. Parents pick up children at the Meeting House. We suggest you leave plenty of time at pick-up to discuss the day’s activitites with your child’s instructor.

SAFETY & EMERGENCIES
Smoke Detectors If your smoke detector goes off due to cooking, steamy showers or burned toast, etc., please… DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE D ETECTOR. Call the operator and a technician will be dispatched immediately to repair your detector. These detectors are wired directly into the Fire Department and tampering with them causes a safety problem for the guests in the rest of your building.
In Case of Fire Most buildings are equipped with interior fire alarm pull stations. When pulled, they will automatically notify the Fire Department. Also, each home is equipped with local smoke detectors for your added protection. Should the fire alarm in your building go off, please evacuate at once and remain outside until the alarm has been silenced. Please do not tamper with the fire alarms or extinguishers.
