Due to a delayed opening of our winter hill, WinSport’s ski and snowboard lessons and programs previously scheduled to begin Nov 23-28 will now begin the week of Nov. 29. For those participants scheduled Nov. 23-28, the program will be reduced to three weeks, with your account credited for the cancelled week. Registration after the revised start date can be completed by contacting Guest Services at 403-247-5452 as online access will no longer be made available.
For lessons and programs beginning on Friday, Nov. 29, the typical four-week schedule will resume.
Make the most of the cold winter months and enjoy some time on the slopes! Whether you're starting out or looking to develop skills you already possess, group lessons are a fun, safe place to learn new skills and develop your technique with others at the same level. Whether it's your first time skiing, you need a refresher, want to build confidence or just keep up with the kids, this is the program for you.
Each program will begin by revisiting the level goals from the previous level on more challenging terrain. An evaluation will be done at the start of each program, we reserve the right to move the participant to the level most appropriate for their skill level. All levels may be repeated multiple times to help build a solid foundation and allow you to develop your skills at your own pace in a safe learning environment.
