Bolton Valley’s ski and ride program provides student-centered, guest-oriented, and outcome-based lessons that promote safety, fun, and learning. Lessons are the best way for beginners, both kids and adults, to be introduced to the sport. Advanced skiers and riders can take advantage of lessons to hone existing skills and acquire new ones.
We are doing everything we can to ensure a good environment for our students and staff. Take look at our 7 Steps For Success for more information, and do not hesitate to ask our call center staff about the changes we have made with safety in mind.
