Lesson Important Information
Students should meet outside the main chalet beside the ice rink. Signs will indicate gathering points for each program (i.e. Snowflakes, High Flyers, etc.). Please wait at the appropriate sign where an instructor will meet you.
Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the program start time to ensure you can locate the appropriate group and meet your instructor.
If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, please report to the Lessons desk at guest services and they will radio a supervisor who can connect you with your group.
Lift tickets are not included in the program price. Please make sure your child has a valid lift ticket or seasons pass when they begin their program. Students will not be permitted on the lifts until they have a valid pass/ticket. Parents will be called to come back to get their child and attain a ticket if they do not have one. No time will be made up for forgotten passes/tickets.
All lesson participants must have a season pass or lift ticket valid during the timeslot of their lesson. Example: a 5 Day | 7 Night season pass is not valid during Saturday morning lessons. We highly recommend purchasing all 8 lift tickets at once. Ask our team about this option when booking 8-week programs.
Please note, Horseshoe Resort now uses RFID cards for lift tickets & season passes.

Within each program, students will have varied abilities and will therefore be grouped with others at a similar ability level. The first week will be used for assessing the students and making sure everyone is in the correct group. If a student is in a group too hard for them or that is below their abilities, they will be moved accordingly to ensure they get the most out of their program. Ability levels are organized by colour (see chart below).
Within each program, students are assessed and grouped with the same ability level to ensure they get the most out of their program. Please use the table below to help identify the level you or your child may be during lessons.
Please note that lessons do not run over the Family Day Weekend.
Helmets are mandatory for students of all ages in our Snow School programs.
Students should come prepared for their ski or snowboard lesson with skis/snowboard, ski boots/snowboard boots, ski poles (if applicable) and a helmet. Students should wear proper snowpants, a winter jacket, gloves or mittens, and other close-fitting garments as necessary for the conditions. Dangling scarves or other loose garments should not be worn as they pose a risk for the student and other adventurers.
A minimum 5 participants are required for programs to run for the season.
All prices are subject to applicable HST and resort fees.
A parent/guardian must remain on site during lessons for those ages 12 or under.
