Private Lessons

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 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.

Early Bird Special

The early bird gets the worm from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.  Those who take advantage of the Early Bird Special can enjoy a private lesson on freshly groomed slopes with no crowds and receive a great deal - just $85 - at the same time.  Get a bonus 1/2 hour on weekends and holidays with Early Bird starting at 8:30 a.m.

Teach Your Kid Private

Let's do it together!  This 2-hour private (for the price of 1 hour) is for parents who want to learn how to teach their child (ages 2 - 5).  Parents and kid must be present and everyone gets instruction. This private is offered at 2:00 everyday.  Reservations are recommended.

Specialty Programs

 

Women's Camp

Whether your idea of adventure is the undeniable adrenaline rush of one’s first time on the slopes, weightlessly floating through an early morning powder stash, the thrill of running gates, dizzying tricks in the halfpipe, a serene backcountry escape, or merely negotiating the mountain safely with kid, Sierra-at-Tahoe® Resort’s Women’s camps can take you there!  Our specially trained team strives to provide an exciting and fun experience by promoting self-confidence and building one’s ability in an encouraging and safe environment. 

About

Sierra™ Resort’s all female learning environment is designed to improve on-hill skill and confidence for women ages 18 and over of any skiing or snowboarding ability. The camps begin with a self-assessment by the participants to determine ability level and comfort zone. Women are then placed in groups that will be most conducive to learning. Or, a group of friends can form their own group if they are all comfortable skiing and riding together. Each camp starts with a welcome breakfast on Sunday morning and will continue with a syllabus designed around participants’ goals.

Sign up for one or all three!
