FAQs

What should I wear?

Winters in New Hampshire often provides us with variable weather conditions, sometimes within the same day, or even within several hours. Proper outdoor winter attire is recommended.

It is best to dress in layers, allowing you to add or remove clothing as conditions and temperature change.

Clothing checklist:

A moisture wicking base layer made of synthetic material. Stay away from cotton as it holds moisture that will eventually make your child feel cold.
A lightweight wool sweater, fleece, or turtleneck.
A single pair of medium weight wool or synthetic socks.
An outer layer consisting of a warm waterproof or water repellent winter jacket, and ski or snowboard pants.
Waterproof gloves or mittens. Fleece is not recommended.
A face covering, goggles or sunglasses.
We always recommend wearing a helmet, but if choosing not to wear one, a winter hat will help keep warm.
Sport Thoma Retail located in the base area offers all the accessories and necessities you may need to keep you comfortable on the slopes.

What do I do the day of my lesson?

On the day of your skiing or snowboarding lesson, arrive at the Main Lift Ticket office to pick up all tickets prior to your lesson time.

If you are renting equipment, arrive at the 10th Mountain Pavilion to pick up all tickets and equipment. Please allow ample time to pick up equipment prior to the start of your lesson.

When you have your equipment and tickets, go to colored flags in front of the deck of Zip’s Pub, no earlier than 10 minutes prior to the start of your adult ski and snowboard lesson, to meet your instructor.

What is your cancellation policy?

All purchases are final. Reservations can be rescheduled up to 48 hours of arrival. Within 48 hours reservations are final.

Cancellations made the day of your lesson or no shows will be charged full price and the lesson will be forfeited.

All cancellations must be made by phone by contacting us at 603-356-5544 ext. 2501.

Will my lesson be cancelled due to weather?

Lessons and instructors are scheduled daily. We do not cancel lessons due to changing New England weather, storms or temperatures. Please dress appropriately for New Hampshire weather conditions.

I have never been on skis or a snowboard before. How many lessons does it take to learn to ski or snowboard?

Everyone’s first time on snow is different. Though there is no exact answer to how long it will take you to pick up the sport, we have found that typically within three adult ski and snowboard lessons first timers have the skill and confidence they need to cruise down beginner terrain.

We use the Terrain Based Learning Method ™ in all our beginner ski and snowboard lessons. Terrain Based Learning uses specifically shaped snow features to naturally control your speed and body positioning, removing the traditional fears and anxieties associated with your first time sliding on snow, making it easier than ever to learn to ski or snowboard.

Is gratuity for my instructor included?

Gratuities are not included but are always appreciated if you feel that the service warrants it.
