A private lesson is about you - what you want to learn, who you want to learn with, what terrain you want to cover and at what pace you want to progress. Reservations are highly recommended.  Private lessons allow you to bring up to six family members and friends per instructor.  Lessons are offered for skiing, snowboarding, telemark skiing and snowbiking.  Reservations are required for all private lessons.

Throughout the season we offer a number of group lessons to help hone your skills:

• Beginner Adventure
  If you're ready to take up skiing and snowboarding we've got a comfortable way for you to start. Enjoy miles of beginner-friendly terrain accessible by state-of-the-art high-speed chairlifts and our Magic Carpet lift. First-time skiers and snowboarders only.
  The Beginner Adventure is offered from 11:15 am. - 3:45 p.m.
• Full-Day Adventure
  Learn under the careful guidance of our expert instructors in a social group setting. Focus on what you want to learn cruisers, bumps, steeps, trees or the terrain park; the choice is yours. 11:15 am - 3:45 p.m.

Children are divided into programs that offer age-specific learning experiences. Snowboard instruction is available for children ages 7 - 14; ski lessons are offered to children ages 3 -14.

November - March

The Telluride Development Squad is an 8-session youth ski and Snowboard program offered through the Telluride Ski and Snowboard School. TDS's goal is to foster and promote skiing and snowboarding to children in a fun and safe learning environment. The program includes instruction and tactics for skiing and riding all-mountain terrain, bumps, and terrain parks. Groups are formed based on ability level and appropriate terrain is chosen based on level. 

"This is a tremendous opportunity for kids in the region to develop a lifelong love of skiing and riding in a program that promotes team building, mountain safety and learning in a non-competitive environment."
