BOOK A PRIVATE LESSON

Children's Group Lessons are a wonderful way to include learning in your family's ski and ride day at Mt. Ellen; and Sugarbush's pros know how to take full advantage of Mt. Ellen's exceptional teaching terrain to really bring your kids' skiing and riding to the next level.

Mt. Ellen group lessons differ from our Sugar Bear program at Lincoln Peak in that the lessons meet on snow, run for two hours, and are only available on weekends. There is not a separate facility for the Ski & Ride School at Mt. Ellen.

Reservations are required at least 72 hours in advance. Programs often sell out as space is limited.
