Lessons

The Snowriders Club offers your 7- to 12-year-old the challenge they need to learn a new sport or to progress their all-mountain skiing or riding skills in a safe and social setting led by a professional instructor. Snowriders is only offered as full-day lessons (4-hours + 1 hour for lunch) on Fridays and Saturdays throughout the two sessions; you can choose to do just one session, or both.

Session Dates

Please make sure to check your dates! We skip the lessons on the weekends of MLK Day (1/17-20) and Presidents' Day (2/14-17)!

The Snowriders program does not include rental equipment. If your child needs rentals, please reach out to the Sunlight Ski & Bike Shop at 970-945-9425 to set up your rentals – we recommend the seasonal rental package!

Our 3 Amigos program is specially tailored for our youngest skiers. The program exposes your child to skiing in a safe, fun, and learning environment. Our objective is to create a fun, positive experience that your child wants to return to time and time again. 

What to expect: Over three 1.5-hour lessons, we introduce your 3mo skier to their equipment and to sliding around the hill. We want them to have a positive experience in a very new situation, so we spend much of our first day playing in the snow and building confidence. Then, over the next two lessons, we get the kids learning to stop, make their first turns, and use the lift with an instructor. 

The 3 Amigos program is only offered on Sunday and Monday mornings at 9:30am, and due to demand, enrollment is limited to one session each season.
