Adventure Ski & Snowboard School — Hotel in Encinitas

I signed up for lesson's 1 and 2 for an hour of skiing about a week before I went on my first ski trip of the year. I had only skied a couple of times before about 5 years ago but never took formal lessons (on or off the mountain). Fir (hopefully I spelled their name right) was amazing! I got an hour of 1:1 instruction in a tiny group lessons. By the 30 minute mark, my legs were sore and shaking. Fir allowed me to take breaks as needed and was so encouraging, patient, and kind. The owner of the school was also there as was the former owner and they were both really kind and encouraging especially when my legs wanted to give out on me. My wife and I were able to spend three days in mammoth skiing together in Mammoth. By the third day I tried my first blue run and didn't crash once! I would highly recommend this school to beginners and intermediates as well. My wife found the comments and the tips very helpful for not only herself but for keeping me on the mountain and encouraging me during our trip. Adventure Ski School was pivotal in having a positive experience in Mammoth and in keeping me safe from injuries caused by...

I had tried snowboarding once. I'm athletic and have always been able to pick things up quite quickly. It was MISERABLE!

For my husband's birthday this year he wanted to go snowboarding for the first time. He too was convinced he was athletic enough to go without lessons. After my experience and a lot of talking, we decided to save time and money by taking lessons here.

I was skeptical, wondering how similar carpet could be to snow. I was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I had a great time! So much fun with great instructors who focused on our safety, and provided informative tips that really helped us on the mountain.

I cannot recall how many times we said to each other how glad we were that we took lessons here prior to our trip. We had a great weekend up at Mammoth snowboarding. We look forward to more lessons to...

I took my oldest daughter here and she loved it --I have been skiing since I was 19 and never took any lessons --so I did it the hard way. I have been an on again and off again skier but even after a long hiatus I always could ski well--I lived on Kauai and even skied the big island ( 15k elevation). No lifts there just a 4 wheel drive truck to take you up and down. So when I moved to the mainland it was a while before I skied again and I wanted to snowboard. At Adventure my daughter and I snowboarded and it was great--I need to get my 9 year old girl on that ramp now and do a refresher before I get back to a mountain--the staff is very friendly. I recommend this school if you are a beginner or even advanced--you do not need a lot of lessons to get really good and it is wise to do a refresher especially...
