Skill Class 1

  • Have fun learning how to glide, change directions, use surface tows and a conveyor lift.
  • Lift use is complimentary during Skill Class 1.
  • The average adult takes one or two Skill Class 1 sessions before moving on to Skill Class 2.

Skill Class 2

  • Develop your control and confidence with turns for speed control and maneuverability. Ride a chairlift! Lift use is complimentary during Skill Class 2.
  • The average adult takes one or two Skill Class 2 sessions before moving on to Skill Class 3.

Careful, after Skill Class 3 you will identify yourself as an Alta skier!
