A lesson reservation does not guarantee a space in ski school for your child. To ensure your space, you must arrive to Ski School no later than the designated times. Please click here for a list of lesson & registration deadline times as well as drop off and pick up locations.
Northstar™ Resort strongly recommends children ages 12 and under participating in the Ski & Snowboard School wear an approved, snowsports specific helmet, either a rental helmet or their own. We also recommend helmet use for all skiers and snowboarders, regardless of age or ability. Helmets are available to rent and purchase at ski and snowboard shops and the children's center.
Ski school reservations are strongly recommended. For reservations or more information, please contact Ski & Snowboard School at 530.562.2470 or 1.800.GO.NORTH.
