Are you looking to improve your skills to get down the steeps, or the control to ride the mountain with complete confidence? Do you dream of taming the terrain you see in the magazines and videos? If so, join our team of nationally certified coaches and ride the unique terrain that Stevens Pass Resort offers.

The focus of the course is to have fun and to ride hard, while learning about the mountains and mountain travel techniques each day. Learn and practice on easier terrain, then go to the expert places to test your skills. You will ski or ride mostly on black diamond and double black diamond runs.

The Stevens Pass Ski and Snowboard School coaching staff will share with you their insight on how to read the mountain, manage your speed, control your fear, save you energy, how to visualize the perfect line, and how to stomp those landings.
