Keystone Children Group Lesson Information

• Lift Ticket/Season Pass (if you did not book it in a package with your lesson) 
• Appropriate warm, waterproof outer layers (coat and pants)
• Waterproof mittens/gloves (mittens are the warmer choice and our recommendation for hands that tend to get chilly!)
• We suggest dressing children in layers, with a moisture wicking, non-cotton base layer
• Smart Wool socks are our preferred footwear, but always wear only one pair of non-cotton socks
• A helmet (REQUIRED for children’s lesson participants: helmets are a part of rental packages)
• Sunglasses/goggles; the sun is stronger at 10,000’ and reflects off snow much like off of water
• Sunscreen
• Hand and/or foot warmers can be helpful on the coldest of days!
• All equipment: Skis/snowboard, boots and poles (optional, for skiers only) 
  If you are renting equipment, please be sure to arrive at the rental shop for picked AT LEAST one hour before your lesson’s scheduled start time. Children’s lesson packages do include rentals (if selected). If you did not add a rental during check-out you can add it through the website or by calling (800) 255-3715. Children renting through Ski & Ride School will be fitted on-site after dropoff by our Ski & Ride School experts. Rentals can be extended for days children are not participating in Ski & Ride School at pickup.

If appropriately bundled at the time of purchase, rental equipment is included with Children’s Lessons. Rental equipment is picked up on-site at the Ski School building (both base areas); our pros will help fit your child with all required equipment to ensure safety and comfort. If you are renting equipment from a third party, we suggest arriving at the rental shop at least 1 hour prior to Ski School drop-off to ensure an on-time arrival. If you arrive a day early, you can pick up your rental equipment at the Ski School Building (both base areas) 1 - 4:30 p.m to save you time in the morning! .

**If you child needs to be fitted for equipment on the morning of your lessons, we suggest arriving at Ski School 8:15 a.m. - 8:30 a.m. and no later than 9 a.m.

***All Children’s lesson participants are required to wear helmet. Helmets are included in equipment rentals, or can be rented separately on site.

• 1 -4:30 p.m. the afternoon before your lesson: if possible, check in for your lesson and get fitted for rental equipment the night before for an easier morning.
• 8:15 a.m. – 9 a.m. - Check in at the sales office. If you have equipment, check in can occur after 8:30 a.m.. Your reservation guarantees your child/children’s spot until 9:30 a.m.
• 9:00 a.m. - Classes form based on age and ability level and lessons begin (at our Mountain House base area we have a unique entrance onto the snow: a SLIDE from inside the building to the snow surface. Way cooler than school, right?!)
• 11:30 a.m – 1 p.m. - Lunch Break: Most groups return to the Ski School facility for lunch. We serve kid’s favorites with a healthy spin to fuel their time on the mountain. Look forward to sub sandwiches or pizza, all served with sides of fruit and vegetables with plenty of water and lemonade! Intermediate and Advanced level students may eat at our Summit House restaurant depending on the pro’s lesson plan and where they are skiing/riding.
• 1 p.m. - Head back outside for more fun on the slopes!
• 3:00 p.m. – Your child’s lesson will end for the day and pick up is held in the “backyard” of our children’s lesson facilities (behind the Mountain House building or directly across from the River Run Gondola.
