Not everyone can gracefully schuss down black diamond slopes. That’s why North Lake Tahoe ski resorts are giving novice skiers and snowboarders the opportunity to learn at bargain prices. The 10th Annual Learn to Ski and Board Weekend scheduled for December 12-13, costs $25 and includes an all-day beginner lift ticket, group lesson and gear rental.
First-timers have their choice of nine resorts to learn at including Alpine Meadows, Boreal Mountain Resort, Diamond Peak, Granlibakken, Homewood Mountain Resort, Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe, Northstar-at-Tahoe, Squaw Valley USA and Sugar Bowl. Reservations are not required, but you should arrive early. Lesson packages can be purchased at each individual resort the day of lessons. Students should contact resorts directly for resort-specific information.
Some restrictions apply. Resorts not open December 12-13 due to early conditions may offer a Learn to Ski Weekend later in the season when weather permits.
