Kid-Friendly Learn-to-ski Programs Shine
Instruction for people of all ages and abilities

From our kid-friendly staff to our expansive line of kid-friendly equipment, the ski school programs at Giants Ridge are recognized as some of the best learn-to-ski (or board) programs in the state.

Giants Ridge expanded its learning area in 2005 and added a 140-foot "Magic Carpet" conveyor lift to assist beginning skiers and boarders.

When planning a day of fun-filled lessons at Giants Ridge, be sure to dress and instruct your child appropriately.

• Layers of clothing
• Polypropylene or wool socks (cotton socks produce perspiration, thereby making feet damp & cold)
• Windproof & waterproof outerwear
• Goggles or sunglasses
• Mark your child's clothing (with their name)
• Tell your kids where you'll be

Be sure that the gear they're using (all of which can be conveniently purchased at Giants Ridge) fits properly, so it is easier to learn.

Giants Ridge Ski School has 60 certified instructors who specialize in winter sports instruction. From very young children to those reaching junior high, these programs provide lessons (and even rentals) for skiers and boarders of all levels.
