The Lookout Pass Free Ski School has been around for over 50 years and has taught approximately 35,000 kids how to ski and snowboard. The Saturday school is run by a group of volunteers devoted to teaching kids both the skills and etiquette they will need for a successful lifelong skiing experience. When we say free, we mean just that. The lessons last approximately one and a half hours and are held on the mountain beginning on Saturday, January 6, 2001. Kids from 6 to 17 years of age may participate and are placed in classes according to their experience.
Rental equipment is available at the ski area.
Give yourself adequate time to get outfitted. Lift tickets are not required during the lesson sessions but are required should the child wish to ski or snowboard during the balance of the day. Classes begin at 10 AM with start times staggered for the different levels. At the end of the ten week session, on March 10, there will be a day of testing followed by a graduation and awards ceremony. All kids who participate in test day receive a certificate, and kids who pass their test receive a pin for their level of achievement.
