Wild Mountain Ski and Snowboard School

My daughter did 20 lessons so far this season.
I have to admit this school is the best option on all lake Tahoe. 10 days program is $ 590 (59 a day) for the full day 8 – 3.30. Basically it is cheaper than most of regular day cares.
I totally recommend it, I know how many parents want their kids to go and the first day go to black diamond — it will not happen. But they do work with your kid, some times maybe they have too big groups and your kid will not get as much attention but you if you want one — go for private lessons.
They love all kids and make sure kids fall in love with skiing/​snowboarding and have fun all day. My daughter is 4 and it took about 6 – 7 lessons for her to go to real lift. Now she skies blue ones and even blacks. Now she skies in group of one teacher and 2 – 3 kids and sometimes just even only 2 kids for the whole day. It is almost semi-​private lesson, which cost $ 200 per hour and you pay $ 59 per day. You can use your package any day during the season. It is good to have reservation for holidays but normal weekends we come and get the spot right away with no problem.
The best thing about the school is that we have all day for ourselves while our kid is having fun. Totally recommend for all parents just don’t push your kids too much:)

The reservation system is VERY flawed. To make a reservation you have to call and leave a message they then call you back to make a reservation. The same applies for canceling a reservation. You call and leave a message then wait for someone to call you back to confirm the reservation has been cancel. Frequently, my reservations are not processed and I show up and the paperwork isn’t ready. Other times, I’ve canceled reservations outside of their 24 hour notice only to get a call back to say the reservation was never canceled and I’m being docked a day.
For the most part, instructors are friendly and great with the kids. My boys usually have lots of fun.
They can be had to understand since may of the instructors are foreign, but that goes with the job.

DD has taken 3 ski lessons here. Her first instructor was okay, but didn’t communicate on her progress very well. The next two lessons were excellent and we really saw great progress. In particular, we’d highly recommend Leanna as a great instructor. The best deal is the 3-​pack of lessons, you practically get the third lesson for free.
We opted for all-​day lessons and they were perfect for our daughter, although many kiddos did not make it all day. Lessons start at 9:15 and include equipment (boots and skis). They get snack and lunch and pickup is at 3:30. There’s also daycare, which we used for our youngest that is pretty affordable so Mom and Dad can go skiing.
