Learn to Turn Lessons
Our Learn to Turn Lessons are designed for those who are hitting the slopes for the very first time or needing some extra assistance on the Musical Carpet! This class is designed to help you learn the basics you'll need to continue practicing even after your lesson is over!

Basic Turns Lessons
The Basic Turns Lessons are for beginner snowboarders who are able to stop and use a falling leaf to change direction (traveling across the slope on the same edge of the snowboard)! This class is for those who may have been out riding a few times and are ready to continue fine tuning their turns, maintain balance, and work their way up to carving.

Linking Turns
This class is for beginners who are ready to start turning carving, turning from heel to toe and back on green trails. This class will help you confidently link turns of different shapes and sizes on beginner terrain and easy blue runs like Midway!
