Sierra-at-Tahoe Ski & Snowboard School
Sierra-at-Tahoe base, with adult first-timers meeting beside the Plaza Deck
The adult Learn to Ski/Snowboard package combines instruction, beginner lift access and rental gear. After registration and fitting, the group meets on snow beside the Plaza Deck.
Why we like it
Choose the beginner group if you have yet to link turns or ride a chairlift. For private coaching, send the school an enquiry and wait for confirmation. Lift tickets and equipment are separate for private lessons.
