Crotched Mountain Ski & Ride School
Base lodge; use the meeting point for your booked lesson
The resort offers children’s and adult group lessons plus private ski and snowboard instruction. Choose a lesson by ability and date; lift access and equipment are normally separate unless your selected package includes them.
Why we like it
Families can also consider the Voyager after-school programme, with lesson, lift and rental package choices. Confirm the session time when booking, and allow time to collect equipment before meeting your instructor.

Crotched Mountain Rental Center
Lower level of the base lodge, adjacent to ski school
Book ski or snowboard equipment through the resort and collect it at the rental shop on the lower level of the base lodge, beside the ski school. Select your dates and equipment type before arrival.
Why we like it
A practical pickup option when you are taking a lesson or starting from the lodge. If you are visiting for an evening session, confirm the collection and return window for that reservation.

This Manchester shop offers season-long junior and teen equipment leases, alongside boot fitting and ski and snowboard tuning. Book a lease appointment and collect equipment at the shop before your mountain visit.
Why we like it
An off-mountain option for families planning repeated ski days. Its lease programme provides a concrete alternative to repeated daily rentals; check the package, fitting and return terms with the shop.

Pro Tip: Book Early
Lessons and rentals at popular resorts often book up quickly, especially during peak season and holidays. We recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance to secure your preferred times.
