Lessons & pricing

Beginner or progression. Pick by level.

Snowboard beginner lessons are for first-timers or those still learning to link turns. Skiers not yet making parallel turns, including those making snowplough turns, belong in beginner lessons; skiers who can make parallel turns belong in ski progression lessons. Choose your sport and level to find the content, length and price that suit you.

Avalanche Safety Set

SnowWind is the resort’s official lesson school and does not run company backcountry/out-of-bounds trips, so the avalanche set (beacon/probe/shovel) is not offered for instant online rental. If you are AST-trained, heading into the backcountry and genuinely need it, contact us on LINE and we’ll assess case by case.

Renting gear is not safety — get trained, never go alone, check the daily bulletin before you go.
