Overall a good experience... This was our first time skiing, rental process went smooth. Lesson breaks up into smaller groups of 4 to 7 people and I felt it was well taught. We also had a 7 year old in little colonal program, the little kids program I felt was very average. Lots of kids, hill very small, took each kid a long time to shimmy up the side and wait their turn to go back down. I felt the staff were great, really attentive, seemed to really care about teaching. At one point a middle aged students was experiencing very bad arch discomfort. They took him in to readjust to a different boot, then went to shop and got him inserts. Showed to me they really cared. Not the world's nicest mountain but starting out its exactly what we needed... Small, no frills. If you are looking to try skiing, give them a shot, I think you'll like their teaching center. 3 out of 4 (age 39, 13 and 10) of us walked away having a solid idea on how and what to do and are probably ready for the easiest of the real hills. Little guy is a work in progress but it's not the teachers fault.
