Lessons

Detroit Mountain Recreational Area uses purpose-built snow features to help assist guests by naturally controlling their speed when first learning to ski and snowboard.

The terrain keeps first timers speed in check and provides a FUN, safe and controlled environment to learn. Guests focus on going instead of stopping which equals an amazing guest experience!

Group Lesson

All Ages

Saturdays and Holidays – 10:00 am and 2:00 pm
Sundays – 11:00 am and 2:00 pm

This is your traditional group lesson for all ages. This lesson gives you exclusive access to our Terrain Based Learning area where we can teach skiing and snowboarding in a safe environment. We build the skills needed to safely learn to turn and control yourself without the constant need to stop. We try to keep the instructor to student ratio at 1:5 but based upon capacity this may be a little higher or lower based upon demand.

Join the ever-growing group of young skiers and snowboarders learning to ski and ride in our specially designed for fun and skill building learning area. Our S-Camp sessions provide a fun and unique twist on the traditional boring old way of learning. Like all of our lesson programs, the S-Camp program allows new snowsport enthusiasts exclusive use of our learning features. This program provides a much more in-depth learning process giving new and returning skiers and snowboarders the ability to expand their potential each and every time they take part in our S-Camp lesson.

Our day begins with Check-in between 8:30 and 8:55 for the morning session and 12:30 to 12:55 for our afternoon session. Drop-off/check-in will take place in the main lodge at our Snowsports desk.

This program will use a variety of learning techniques to provide an active way of learning difficult skills through fun and active play and new ranges of motion. (This may or may not include non-snow based skill sets) Each S-Camp participant will receive a snack and warm beverage during the session.
