Mountain Flex Card

The Mountain Flex Card is the solution for those who would like the flexibility to attend any regularly scheduled class lesson offered. The Mountain Flex Card is a three-visit package ideal for ages 8 and older (not sold to children ages 7 and younger due to 7 and younger receiving free lift ticket with adult purchase). Each package includes three 8-hour lift tickets, three beginner to advanced class lessons, and three ski or snowboard rentals. This card is non-transferable and limited to a single redemption per day. The lift, lesson, and rental must be redeemed as a package during each visit.

The cardholder may attend any regularly scheduled class lesson. Class lessons are available on weekdays at 10:30 am and 12:30 pm and weekends at 9:00 am, 11:30 am, and 2:00 pm. Evening class lessons are held at 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm for adults ages 13+ and Saturdays at 5:00 pm for juniors ages 8-12. Reservations are not required.

Junior, ages 8-12, class lesson registration begins in the Children's Learning Center one hour prior to the start of the lesson time and is closed 15 minutes prior to the lesson time. Register early to avoid missing your preferred lesson time as classes frequently sell out at peak times. Supervision is provided from registration through the end of the lesson. Adults, ages 13+, meet instructors at the Snowsports School Meeting Place located at the base of the mountain between the Sunset Chairlift and Comet Express 10-15 minutes prior to the start of the lesson. Class lessons are offered through March 18, 2012, and lesson times and instructor availability may change without notification.
