Ski/Snowboard Lessons
Mountain School - Rates for 2022-2023 Winter Season
Mount Peter has turned thousands of beginning skiers and snowboarders into life-long enthusiasts. We’re famous for our Free Beginner Lessons on weekends and holidays and we’ve even helped launch a few competitive careers. Free Beginner Lessons are located at the base of the mountain.
Over the decades, our Mountain School has established a reputation as a highly regarded instructional destination by providing an outstanding level of teaching. Lessons are led by instructors certified by the PSIA (Professional Ski Instructors of America) and AASI (American Association of Snowboard Instructors), and our Mountain School Director is a certified member of the PSIA Development Team.
New for the 2022-2023 winter season, Mount Peter in Warwick, NY has recreated their learning center! The Snow Basin Learning Center now has three progressive trails, each with its own carpet lift!
NOTE: Six packs are no longer being offered for the purchase of lessons.
