Lift tickets are attached by red plastic tie wraps that are handed our freely at the Canyon Lodge . I will leave it to you to get creative. Each includes Rossignol Short Cut skis or snowboard rental, 3-hour daily lesson beginning at 10am, and beginner lift ticket. This is how I converted from Skier to Snowboarder. The snowboarding conversion involves quite a bit of body impact.
Wrist guards come with the package but consider a helmet and butt pad also.
Adults over 30 need a butt pad. If you like you can get a multiple day pass for your children to save you the hassle of cutting off the free pass each day. Holding a multiple day pass on a blizzard day can be a bad thing because you won't get a refund. It is sometimes better to buy a half day on blizzard days. Kids have a low tolerance to cold.
