Private Lessons

Assigned Private Lessons

  • Assignments will be based on the established priority system as well as best fit for the lesson, given the guest’s requests and needs, as well as instructor’s ability.

  • If a series of private lessons is purchased by a guest without requesting an instructor by name, the first day of the lesson will be an assignment, then the subsequent lessons will be request. It will be noted on the instructor’s schedule like “A-R…4 days “. meaning assignment for 1 lesson, request for 3 lessons for a total of 4 days.

    • For assigned private lessons, there is the option to complete a “Confirm to Request”, therefore making the first day of a lesson request pay. Lesson date/time, meeting location, correct waiver, and correct lift access need to be confirmed with the guest. This option is available until 8pm the night prior to the lesson. Subject to Manager approval. 

Request Private Lessons

  • Instructor availability for private request lessons will be subject to an instructor’s availability, prior lesson commitments and approval by the supervisor. 

  • Whenever possible, you will receive a private if a guest requests you specifically. 

    • Referrals: An instructor may recommend another instructor. Managers are happy to help with referrals and including them in the process may help with the guest experience. The private lesson will become a request with the new instructor during the second lesson.  

Montage & Spanish Peaks Lessons

  • We’ve had a couple close calls at the Carpe Diem bridge and to prevent a serious incident we have installed a fence. Instructors and guests alike need to observe this closure and ride Sacajawea (even at the beginning of the day – if we make a trail around the fence others will follow throughout the day). Sacajawea's ride time is about 6 minutes and Sacajawea starts loading between 8:30 and 8:45.
