Private Ski & Snowboard Lessons
Homewood’s Private Lessons provide the most flexible learning environment for any skier or snowboarder. Our private instruction is available to beginner, intermediate, and advanced skiers and snowboarders who wish to focus on specific goals, build technique, and have fun on the slopes.
Homewood’s Private Lesson program allows friends and families – up to 5 people – to take advantage of the opportunity to learn together, to bypass lift lines (yes, even on holidays!), and to save money.
As with any private lesson, the guest can structure the time. Either learning together or splitting an all-day lesson into time blocks for skiers/riders at different ability levels. Often though, it is an opportunity for a group to share laughs and experience a day on the mountain together.

Arriving for your lesson
Step 1: Parking – All Adult Lessons must have their lift ticket and go through the process of picking up their ski or snowboard rentals prior to checking in for their lessons. Please arrive at Homewood no later than 30 minutes before the lesson start time for mid-weekdays and at least 1 hour to 1.5 hours prior on weekends and holidays.
All lessons will meet at Homewood’s North Base (located at 5145 West Lake Blvd.). Homewood offers convenient parking right at the base of the North Lodge. Note that parking reservations are required and can be made online before your visit.
Step 2: Pick Up Your Lift Ticket – After you’ve parked head over to our North Lodge. Pick up your lift ticket information at one of the self-serving kiosks or ticket windows.
Step 3: Pick Up Your Rentals – Follow the signs to the rentals entrance, located behind the North Lodge Building
Step 4: Check-in for your lesson – After picking up your lift ticket and rentals all lesson participants should check in with Ski School at the Ski & Snowboard School building (Little Red School House) behind the North Lodge 10 minutes prior to the lesson start time.
We recommend coming prepared with warm, waterproof pants and a jacket, mittens or gloves, one pair of warm socks, and either sunglasses or goggles.
