Those in the know are lured to Skibowl’s Outback, the legendary expansive terrain with forested steeps, open glades and ungroomed slopes that are nothing short of heavenly.

Yet, beginner skiers are also welcome at Skibowl. The Skibowl Olympic Ski School offers skiing and snowboarding lessons for adults and children. You can register for regularly scheduled group classes or arrange for your own private or semi-private lessons.Private and semi-private one-time lessons can also be scheduled.



Another option just for kids is the Mogul Buster Ski School at Skibowl East. For over 50 years, Mogul Busters has catered to families with children age 4 to 13. Kids enjoy four hours of lessons on weekend days. While the kids are skill building, parents can enjoy adult time on the slopes.
