Private Lessons

*Private Lesson Special - 50% off Midweek Private Lessons.*
Restricted dates: December 24, 2012-January 4, 2013, January 21, February 11-22, March 25-29, and April 1-5, 2013.

 

Private lessons are a great way to get started on the slopes or to elevate your skiing and riding to the next level. With one-on-one or small group instruction, a student can often progress his/her abilities more in one lesson than in an entire season without professional instruction. Sierra-at-Tahoe®  Resort offers many affordable private lesson options, including:

Privates for all Abilities and Ages

Sierra-at-Tahoe caters to all levels of skiers and riders by pairing up the appropriate instructor for each ability and age. Choose from 2 hours, 3 hours or a full day of one-on-one instruction to help improve your ability. This individualized experience provides instant feedback and personal attention helping you fine tune your technique while enjoying a day out on the mountain. Private lessons can be for one person or groups up to five people so you can stay together with your friends and family and still benefit from private instruction.

About

On Saturday, each camp starts with a welcome breakfast. At the end of the day, enjoy Après drinks and snacks on the top of the mountain, overlooking Lake Tahoe.
