Private Ski and Snowboard Lessons at Stratton Mountain

Here at Stratton Mountain we pride ourselves in our expansive and all-embracing Ski and Snowboard Winter Sports School. Between the stacked team of hardworking instructors, coaches and mountain guides and our newly improved learning area featuring 5 surface lifts, Stratton is the perfect place for you to participate in a ski or snowboard lesson.

Private Lessons

For groups of 1-4 skiers or riders

Private Lessons are a great option for those who are looking to have an intimate, 1-on-1 learning experience where you will have your instructor’s undivided attention for the duration of your time spent out on the snow. Private lessons include instruction only, therefore you must purchase lift tickets separately. Half-day and full-day private lessons are available but limited (half-day lessons are 9AM-12PM or 12:30PM-3:30PM, full-day lessons are 9AM-3:30PM). There is nothing better than tailor-made instruction when it comes to learning how to ski or snowboard. Book today.

Private Lesson Perks:

  • Skip the lines with priority lift access
  • Special request your instructor
  • Choose who you take your lesson with (friends, family or by yourself)
  • Personalized instruction from our top-rated instructors
  • Progress at your own pace

Private Lesson Pro Tips:

  • Save $$ when you book an afternoon lesson over a morning lesson
  • 3-5 year old afternoon private lessons get an extra 30 minutes of instruction
  • Book early for holiday weeks and if you’d like to request an instructor
  • Participants must arrive 15 minutes early for their lesson with the required equipment:
    • Skis/snowboard
    • Bindings
    • Boots (warm socks underneath)
    • Helmet and goggles (facemask or baklava)
    • Jacket, pants and gloves (preferably waterproof)
    • Snack, packed lunch or money for lunch
    • A good attitude!

Mountain Guide Program

For groups of up to 6 skiers and/or riders

Skip the lift lines and get to the good stuff with one of our well-versed and highly skilled Mountain Guides who will plan your private 6-hour session based around the group’s overall desires and abilities. Our Mountain Guide Program is catered toward small groups up to 6 (great for families) who are interested in being shown around the mountain while also receiving specialized instruction upon request. Book today.

Some things to know:

  • All lessons will meet at the private lesson flag in the Main Base Area unless otherwise pre-arranged
  • The timing of breaks and lunch will be determined by you, based on your ideal schedule or how the group is feeling as a whole
  • The preference of an instructor must be indicated at the time of booking
  • Dates may be booked up to 48 hours in advance

Our private lesson and guide offerings are both fantastic options that will provide you with a memorable and fulfilling experience here at the resort. These exclusive products tend to sell out quick, so we highly recommend booking as soon as you can, especially if you are planning to request an instructor or visit us during a holiday period. We hope to see you this winter!
