Northstar Ski & Snowboard School
Northstar Village, adult groups on Gondola Way
Adult ski and snowboard groups meet in the Village on Gondola Way near the base of the Big Springs Express Gondola. For a child’s or private lesson, follow the meeting and pickup instructions for that booking.
Why we like it
Arrange a valid lift ticket or pass for the lesson. If your adult group package includes gear, pick up ski rentals at Northstar Sports Village Rentals. Snowboard packages are fitted at lesson check-in.
