Important Information
What is demand-based pricing?
We never want to turn you away from a fun-filled day on the slopes, and we understand you may not always be able to plan ahead. However, during snowstorms and holidays, demand for ski and snowboard lessons at Snowbowl is at its highest. During these times, lesson prices may vary greatly and can increase rapidly. Our demand-based pricing is designed to manage the number of guests enrolled in lessons on specific days, so we can keep class sizes manageable, match you with the right instructor for your ability level, and make sure you get the attention you need to learn and progress.
When planning your next visit, be sure to book your lesson well in advance for the biggest savings. If you arrive on the day you hope to take a lesson and have not booked, please understand prices may be higher than the previous day, and availability of certain lesson times and types may be limited. All lesson purchases may be exchanged for a credit up to 11:59 PM the night before your arrival.
Our suggestion for getting the best deal is to review our lesson calendar, book your lesson well before your arrival day, and avoid peak periods.
