GUEST COMMENTS

Below are a few of the many guest comments we’ve received, we’ll continue to share these accolades weekly!

  • Dan Piliero from the instructor school for snowboarding was absolutely fantastic. I had two full day lessons with him (somewhere in between beginner and intermediate) and by day three when I was alone, I was going down the slope with myself with minimal falling. He got me to a point where I was comfortable enough riding on my own, and that was a huge accomplishment for me!
  • Special thanks to John Linn and Chelsea Loyd who assisted my daughter with three days of private adaptive ski lessons. They are great reat ambassador of your brand and provided outstanding service.
  • Fid Mohamed was an amazing instructor, quickly identifying where I needed improvement and communicating it in a way I was able to understand as more of a beginner. Also provided a number of resources to continue the learning off the mountain. I would return again just based on the experience with Fid.
  • Kim Ballingal was an excellent instructor for our kids. He communicated with us before and during the lessons. The kids loved him, he taught them a ton and took them on many runs that challenged them. They have had instructors every year, and they all agreed that Kim was their favorite. He was such a great instructor and we will be spreading the word!!
  • We loved Alisa Rader, Tomas Bernad and Tutti Polanco Ferraris!! Kids second year in ski school and they made great progress. I love the reports the instructors give at the end of each day - they actually care. Kids skill levels progressed accordingly. Ski school is safe, professional and well organized.
  • Weston Rix, our ski instructor for our 5-year-old was amazing. She has such a fantastic time learning and playing all day. She liked the food and made friends. It was definitely worth our time and money to have her in ski school.
