• Please arrive at your specific Ski and Snowboard School meeting location (Adventure, Guiding and Learning Center, Mid-Mountain Ski & Snowboard School, or Ritz Carlton) promptly at your scheduled lesson start time ready to ski or ride.
•  Arrive ready to ski/ride with your equipment (helmet, sunscreen, goggles, gloves, etc.).
• Private lessons will start and end at the same location unless other arrangements are made.
