When you sign up for this event, you’ll enjoy access to the ski school lane at the chairlifts for the duration of your experience making it even easier to maximize your ski time. You’ll need some skiing experience in place to successfully participate in this excursion and there are options to book a private Ski with a Champion outing or to enjoy it as a group of 6.
