A Space Just for Learning

Located at the South Base Lodge and in the Village, these zones feature gentle terrain, easy-loading lifts, and wide-open spaces that let you focus on building confidence one step at a time. Whether you’re taking your first lesson or practicing new skills, these learning areas provide an approachable environment to start your mountain journey and set yourself up for success.

Ski or Snowboard

Choosing between skiing and snowboarding often comes down to how you like to move and balance. Skiing tends to feel more natural for many beginners, as your legs move independently and you face forward, which can make balance and turning easier to grasp at first. Snowboarding, on the other hand, has a steeper initial learning curve. You’ll be standing sideways and using your whole body to steer, but once you find your rhythm, progression can come quickly. Both are fun, rewarding ways to enjoy winter, so the best choice is the one that feels most exciting to you.
