Ask for the "Ski School Package" at the ticket window, and receive your Equipment Rental, a Surface Lifts Ticket and access to Coaching in our beginner areas.
During the pandemic, too many people were "just trying it" in our beginner areas without any coaching, and it was becoming hazardous. So, to make it safer for EVERYONE, we are giving away coaching, for the same price as a rental and a surface lifts ticket. Our coaches are assigned to our beginner areas, during this period of time, to provide guidance and instruction, to make sure that your first-time skiing, is a safe, fun and successful experience.

*Seasons Greetings To Our Black Mountain Families and Friends
Following the pandemic, we have seen an explosion of interest in Snowsports across the country, which is awesome! This explosion of interest is also coupled with low staffing in resort towns across the nation; and that has created a challenge. Ski schools everywhere have been receiving hundreds of lesson requests, more than any of our ski schools can handle, due to staffing limitations.
As a result, too many folks are just "trying it" without any instruction because they can't find a lesson. That's never a good thing; we want you to have fun so you will come back again and again. If you have a horrible time, or worse get hurt, "just trying it", you will probably never come back. That isn't good for anyone.
We need every visitor to have the time of their life, and to do it safely, so you will want to come back for more.
To make this happen in 2023, on weekends and holidays, we will have staff in our learning areas for our guests who want to "try it out". Ask for our "Ski School Package" (Rental + Surface Lifts Ticket + Coaching = $65) at the ticket window, and our coaches will be there to help you have a fun, safe and successful day on the hill. (For guests younger than 7, please see our Little Lambs Program.
Until we see you, keep doing those snow dances!!
Sincerely,
Ray Gilmore
Ski School Director
