2021: 1 star. Has anybody been able to get through for dec 2021 camp? Registered 5-6 weeks ago and still unconfirmed if I’m the darn ski kids winter holiday camp is happening tomorrow!!?? Can’t get through enail or phone msg for past month. Don’t kno whether to show up for class tomorrow or not!? So frustrated. Update: finally heard back week before Xmas holiday break 2021 that we weee in, but then of course got corona n had to cancel! But we got a refund which was nice.

Update 2024 - 4 stars: finally booked again dec 23 for Jan 2024 class. Weather was horrible for skiing no snow this winter so the hills weren’t good (they made snow and it was surprisingly white when all our homes and surroundings could see all grass, I figured they would cancel lessons because didn’t think they could make enough snow) but they did, some days was very icey . NOT their fault, They tried.

I don’t know if management changed but they are quite good in person now, and answered phone promptly etc unlike 2021.

The ski classes were good but inconsistent. There were a zillion teachers (mostly young kids) so that’s good sometimes in that paid a group class but 2 classes I got a private or semi-private) BUT the quality of teaching was inconsistent. Many days seemed like student teachers just stood around too. As teacher is randomly assigned upon arrival each week, could be 1 week have great teacher, another not so good kid teaching and it was a waste. For example first class skiing and we got a snowboarding teacher, was annoyed because my kid couldn’t understand what it should look like, but next class told my kid only follow a teacher who is skiing too so it’s easier for kid to follow. Some classes good but others not so great also bc weather and ice they barely went down harder steeper hill (they tried a few times but also fell bad bc icey conditions which spooked the kids) . Also even length of class varies, supposed to be 50 min class. one teacher didn’t go back up to do another 1 last run and ended after 40 min, but another week I got 60 min because teacher chose to do 1 more run. Some weeks did the runs many times like came down 6-8x? Other weeks only came down like hill like 2x not so active it seemed (they would do a really slow activity at top of hill after ski lift which we couldn’t see as spectators)

All in all it was a decent $ deal for a beginner and all about the local convenience (driving 15-20 min in winter , instead of 60-90 min) to a real ski hill , and for a beginner, esp getting used to a ski lift for first time . Next year would probably go to a bigger hill since finding out kids now like skiing and are comfortable on lift now. Rating: 3 to 4, out of 5.
