Pebble Creek Ski Area is making it easy for families and individuals to learn to ski or board during the holidays. Every day from Monday, Dec. 26, through Sunday, Jan. 1, first-time group lessons and private lessons are offered.
A family can take advantage of group lessons designed just for kids and lessons for those who are older.
If you want for your family to stay together, schedule a private family lesson. Pick skiing or boarding. If boarding, your lesson will be more successful if kids are at least 8 years old. The cost is $70 for the first person and $25 for each additional person of the same ability level and includes beginner area lift tickets. Rental skis and boards are $12 each.
“Christmas Stars” is for kids ages 4 to 12 who are just starting out or already skiing. The $35 cost includes a lift ticket and a lesson from 1 to 3 p.m. Come back for more days for just $30. Rental skis are available for just $12 a day.
Start Skiing and Start Boarding is for those ages 10 and up. This one-day ski or snowboard program includes a morning or afternoon group lesson, beginner area lift ticket, and the rental equipment for just $35. First-time lessons are taught both morning and afternoon. For those who would like to improve their current skill level, there is a morning lesson only.
For the morning lesson, check in by 9:15 a.m. to get your equipment set up, with your lesson starting at 10 a.m. For the afternoon lesson, check in by 12:15 p.m. with the lesson starting at 1 p.m.
