PLEASE NOTE...

We accept reservations for our miniRIDERS program. In fact we encourage reservations. in addition we encourage you to use our online preferred Rental Equipment program for kids enrolled in this program. Please book early as miniRIDERS is a popular program and tends to book up weeks in advance! After making a reservation you will still need to arrive early 7:55a to 8:15a on weekends to avoid the rush. We've found the program works best for all if the children are here early, dressed, ready, registered, equipped, checked in and waiting on the snow at the large Pine Tree with the Snowboarding Lesson sign prior to the program starting time.

Registration for our miniRIDERS Snowboard Lesson programs open at 7:55 a.m. on weekends in the Snowboard Rental Shop.

If you need rentals please allow 45 minutes to an hour to get your equipment as a worst case scenario.
Holiday periods can be quite busy in this popular program.
