Mt. Bachelor is committed to creating the next generation of snow riders. We have developed a series of value-packed learning experiences through the Mt. Bachelor Snowsports School to make the transition from a “never-ever” to a solid intermediate skier or snowboarder as simple and affordable as possible. Whether you are 4 or 54, Mt. Bachelor offers a learning track just right for any age.
At Mt. Bachelor we are focusing our efforts to create more snow sports participants and lifelong enthusiasts. We have built our Snowsports programs to offer more ways to start the learning process based on you, your goals, your learning style and frankly, how committed you are at the onset to learning the sport. We are offering a new line up of programs that present a progression of learning experiences, whether you want to take it slow, over time, or if you wish to immerse yourself in learning over a weekend or vacation. Our mission at Mt. Bachelor is to build a culture that values beginners and is passionate about helping them become lifelong skiers, riders and Nordic skiers.

Beginner Workshops
If you already know how to ski or snowboard and you wish to cross over to the other sport, a Beginner Workshop is your best value since you already know how to put on equipment, ride a lift, and dress for winter weather conditions.
Our beginner workshops are simple, helpful, and will get you on your way to enjoying skiing and riding as quickly as possible. Our PSIA certified instructors spend 2 hours providing you with the basics, then you are off to explore and learn at your own pace!
- Add full day rental equipment to any Beginner Workshop for just $20 for youth (ages 6 - 12) or $26 for adults (ages 13 and above).
- Lesson times are 10:00am - 12:00pm or 1:00pm - 3:00pm.

If you are familiar with skiing or riding and can get on chairlifts, know about the mountain, or have done it before, this program is not for you. We will be assessing this at the outset of the program. If you are deemed to be already a snowsports participant by your instructor, we will excuse you from the program and offer you a refund for the remainder of the program cost.
Welcome First Timers
Never Been to the slopes, No Problem!
Downhill skiing, snowboarding, Nordic skate and classical skiing are active winter sports that can be enjoyed for a lifetime and provide health, wellness and social benefits. Few, if any other collection of sports provide the combined opportunities of elevating the well being of mind, body and soul while at the same time making it easy to socialize and connect with friends and family – all in a spectacular mountain environment. These are sports that anyone with the desire and determination can learn in a relatively short period of time. The question is, are you ready to learn how?
