If you didn’t learn to ski as a kid it can be pretty intimidating to learn as an adult. Not only can it be scary to try a completely new sport, but it can be expensive! Outerwear, equipment, lessons, lift tickets, not to mention getting to and staying at the mountain. This year Stratton wants to help new skiers learn, enjoy, and save!
Stratton recently launched a new Learn to Ski or Ride program everyone who completes the program received a FREE season pass! From complete beginners to those looking to build confidence and hone their skills this program is a great way to improve and save on return trips.
How it works
There are 4 steps to the Stratton Learn to Ski or Ride program.
Step 1:
- Take a 3-hour beginner group lesson
- Lesson includes: equipment rentals and a Learning Zone lift ticket for the day
- Cost: $199
Step 2, 3 and 4:
- Take 3 more group lessons
- Each lesson includes: equipment rentals and a full mountain lift ticket for the day
- Cost: $199 each
Lessons can be spread out or can be taken on back-to-back days. After completing the 4th lesson, participants will receive instructions via email to claim a free 24/25 Stratton Select Pass.
So, participants get 4 lessons, 4 days of equipment rentals, 4 daily lift tickets, and a season pass all for just $796! We’re huge fans of Stratton’s new program, we have always believed that it is in the mountain’s best interest to help beginners learn to ski and ride so they can enjoy the sport and therefore are more likely to come back.
