Class Lesson Schedule

Adult Class Lessons (Ages 13+)

Adult (ages 13+) lesson participants meet at the Snowsports School Meeting Place located between the Comet Express and Sunset lifts 10-15 minutes prior to the start of each lesson time.

Learn to Turn! Guaranteed! Recognizing that not all new skiers and snowboarders learn at the same speed, we would like your first ski or snowboard experience to be great. So for all first time skiers and snowboarders, ages 13 and older, we encourage you to take as many lessons as needed to reach your comfort level. Beginner lessons are included with your skier or snowboarder package. So when you are finished with your first lesson and still need a little help, simply show up at the Snowsports School Meeting Place at the next available lesson time and continue to Learn to Turn! Guaranteed!

Junior Class Lessons (Ages 4-12 Ski, Ages 6-12 Snowboard)

Junior (ages 4-12) lesson participants meet in the Children's Learning Center (CLC) located in the Sunset Lodge. CLC class lesson registration begins 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 until the end of the lesson. Parents must pick up children in the Children's Learning Center immediately following the completion of the lesson.

Private Lessons (Ages 3+)

Private lessons are based on instructor availability. Advance reservations are recommended. Call 585-374-6000.

2011-12 Ski or Snowboard Packages

Whether its your first day or your 50th, we have a lesson program that's right for you. Learn basic skiing or snowboarding skills or build on your freestyle and mogul techniques. No matter what level you are, the Bristol Mountain Snowsports School can take your skiing or riding to the next level.

Packages are priced for ages 8 and older. Children ages 7 and younger accompanied with a paying adult receive a free lift ticket, and we recommend that lessons and equipment rentals be purchased individually.

2011-12 Helmets

Bristol Mountain places a high priority on providing our guests with a fun and safe mountain experience. While New York State does not currently mandate that helmets are worn, we do feel it is very important that parents, skiers, and snowboarders educate themselves about the benefits and limitations of helmets. Ultimately, the choice of whether or not to wear a helmet is one of personal or parental preference.
