Service Disruption: Glen Eden Is CLOSED for the Season
Whether it’s your first time at Glen Eden Snow School or you’ve returned year after year, we thought you could use some friendly reminders about your upcoming ski or snowboard lessons!
If you haven’t yet, we highly recommend picking up your Season Pass and Lesson Tag before your first day of lessons. This will make your first day much smoother and help you to avoid waiting in line and being late for your first lesson.
All prepaid equipment renters will be notified via email prior to lesson start dates with equipment pick up instructions.
Whether it’s your first year with us at Glen Eden for lessons or you’ve been with us for multiple, it is very important to know where to go for day 1 of your lesson programs. Your instructor will begin the lesson at the start time printed on your lesson tags. Don’t be late! Please read the following primer to best prepare you to arrive on time so that you get the most out of your lesson program.
As a tip – ensure you arrive early, especially on your first day. We recommend arriving with a buffer of no less than 30 minutes before your lesson starts to ensure you are on time and are getting the most out of your program, if you have purchased prepaid rentals, you want to arrive with a buffer time of at least 2 hours.
**Please note that the meeting location for Junior, Adult, and Teen meeting locations has changed JUST FOR THE CHRISTMAS Camp. Please refer to your Welcome E-mail on where your lesson meets.
From the west parking lot, cross the pedestrian overpass and turn right. Walking towards the updraft chairlift, pass the west lodge. For Primary lessons of all ability levels, look for a GREEN “Snow School” flag. For Kinder lessons of all ability levels, look for a PINK “Snow School” flag.
TIP: If you have a stroller/wagon, it is easiest to walk towards the updraft chairlift along the service road after crossing the pedestrian overpass.
Your meeting lesson location will coincide with your current ability level.
For those comfortable riding the chairlifts and using the edges of their skis/snowboard to turn down the mountain, (previously skill tracker 3 and above), cross the pedestrian bridge from the west parking lot, and turn left. Pass the small brown cottage (staff building) and walk towards the base of the Ridge Chairlift. Look for the Blue “Snow School Junior, Teen, Adult” Flag.
