Here is the best and most honest review you will read about the Mt. Snow Ski & Snowboard School. This place needs to get it together. The levels of classes depend on your experience so purchase your lesson accordingly. I had never snowboarded before, so I took part in the $99 Learn to Ride First Timers group program. The price includes rentals for your bindings, board, boots and lift ticket to the Discovery lift.. (it does not include your helmet) It takes place in the Discovery Center of the park, which is off to the right of the main lifts. The lessons should be about 3 hours long. The First Timer lesson starts behind the receptionist desk indoors and spends its time teaching you how to put on your gear (from boots to board). We then learned how to maneuver around with one foot out of the bindings. This is called skating. But I wish we stopped there. We spent about 1 1/2 hours going down a small grade with a foot out of the binding. This helps teach you nothing. I was so frustrated I couldn't control myself with 2 feet strapped in by the end of the day. I almost gave up. I thought about it overnight and wound up coming back the next day for the Learn to Ride for Beginners at the $106 cost. This still includes your rental gear aside from the helmet. Be careful - this terminology (First Timers vs Beginners) confuses the front desk, receptionist, and some of the instructors. This Beginner class meets outside behind the building. There are different levels, yellow and green. I still don't know which color I was assigned, but I worked with Bob and it turned out I was the only one in the class. He worked with me and really paid attention to my form. He corrected me, he helped me, and he really gave some expert advice that got me up and going down the bunny hills on my own. I was ecstatic and am forever thankful for what he did for me. His patience and guidance were key to getting me to understanding the snowboarding concept. I think the success I had was based on the tailored nature of the lesson. I definitely would recommend a private lesson over the class, unless you can find a class with a low registration count. 3-4 may even be too many people. Overall, Mt. Snow should look into renaming some of its group courses so people aren't confused or lost. They could then put up clearer signage so students know where to go. Overall, big shout out to Bob. I'm super excited to keep practicing with the skills he taught me.
Good learn to ski program much better on non holiday weeks.
I really had fun over here
