There are lots of good reasons to start skiing or snowboarding this winter.
Everything you need to know to get started
Dress comfortably
Wear warm, comfortable layers. You can put your ski wear on at home, in the car, or at the ski lodge.
Arrival, parking, lodge & facilities
In addition to parking, every ski area has a lodge where you can warm up, grab a bite to eat, and use the washrooms. Most hills have a cafeteria or restaurant on site, and you can usually bring your own lunch to enjoy inside the lodge.
You’ll also find designated areas and lockers for storing your personal belongings including bags and extra clothing. Skis, snowboards and poles must be stored outside on the designated racks.
Need equipment?
Head to the rental shop or ski school to pick up your equipment and meet your instructor. This is where your experience really begins. Take this time to ask any questions and make sure everything fits properly.
Discover the learning area
This is where you’ll learn how to glide, stop, turn and, most importantly, have fun. You can use the magic carpet (a conveyor-style lift) to get back up the slope easily and safely.
Are you ready to hit the slopes?
Once you’ve mastered the learning area, make sure you know how to ride the ski lifts safely before you head to the top of the mountain.
