          Important Details

          • Reservations for Private and Semi-Private Lessons must be booked in advance online. Walk-ins are not available.
          • Private and Semi-Private lessons do NOT INCLUDE a lift ticket or rental equipment. These items will need to be purchased separately in advance of your lesson. Pre-purchasing a lift ticket and rentals is the best way to ensure availability and will save you time when you arrive.
          • Lessons start promptly at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
          • Please be sure to arrive, at a MINIMUM, one hour early. This will ensure you have enough time to check in at the front desk to receive your lift ticket and get fitted with equipment, if applicable. Lines and wait times may be long. You will not be eligible for a refund if you are late to your lesson.
          • When you get onsite (one hour early!), make sure to head to the front desk upstairs at the ski lodge to check-in.
          • Mt. Crescent has a no-refund policy. If Mt. Crescent closes due to weather during your lesson time, we will work with you to reschedule your lesson.
          • Reschedule requests must be received at LEAST 24 hours in advance. Failing to provide this notice may result in your lesson being canceled without a refund.
          • Please be sure to dress appropriately for winter weather. Layers are highly recommended.
          • For children between 5 and 7 years old, we highly recommend they participate in the Little Shredders program before taking a Private or Semi-Private Lesson.
          • Semi-Private Lesson Only:
            • Please ensure there is no more than a couple of years difference between young learners if participants are between the ages of 5 and 9.
            • Children ages 6 and under cannot be grouped together and must have their own instructor.
            • Groups booked with too wide of an age margin may be charged for an additional instructor.
          Please Read Before Arrival!
