Ski & Snowboard Lessons

The Roger Page Ski & Ride School at Saddleback

Build Skills. Find Your Style. Love the Ride.

At Saddleback, learning is part of the adventure. Whether you’re strapping in for the first time, looking to fine-tune your technique, or curious to explore a new discipline like telemark skiing or snow skating, our experienced instructors are here to guide you every step of the way.

With over 40 acres of gentle beginner terrain, class is always in session here at Saddleback. Our instructors will have you smiling at every turn as you glide down greens like Smelt Streamer, ride the new Mollychunkamunk moving carpet, or hit the Happy Garrison Glades. Already know how to ski or ride but want to take it to the next level? We have lessons for that too! Learn how to get into the front of the boot and carve like a pro, or become a mogul menace. Have you been looking longingly at Casablanca and wishing you could take that left at the top of the ‘Bago instead of always turning right? We can help you get there! No matter your level, we will make learning fun.

We offer lessons for all ages and ability levels across many disciplines, skiing, snowboarding, telemark, and snow skate included. From personalized coaching to fun group settings, every session is designed to build confidence, develop new skills, and help you make the most of your mountain time. Try something new, challenge yourself, or take your riding to the next level—we’ll help you get there!
