First Time Skiing at Mammoth Mountain

Mammoth Mountain is known for having a great ski school as well, so if your kids are just learning a couple of lessons should spiff them up. They can go group or private, and many kids are learning both skiing and snowboarding at the same time as the parents like to ski, and the kids can then snowboard with their friends.
The ski school offers different packages for different levels, whether you're a 1st timer, need a brush up, or prefer to learn slowly. There are a lot of ways to go. For more advanced skiers and riders private lessons are the best as they cater directly to your needs.
One of the best ways to get the most out of ski school is to take your lessons when the crowds aren't around. Weekdays usually have less students so attention to your details is more concentrated. Weekends while busier, usually have more instructors, so you'll have more opportunity to get into a class where everyone is at your level.
Yes, it is always fun to have a parent teach a child how to ski, or to say "oh you can do this". But if you want your kids, friends and family to get as good as you are, ski school is the trick. Students tend to listen to the instructor a whole lot more than the friend. It is also safer for the newbie, and for the other skiers on the hill. Ski school also eliminates any fear a student may have about slopes that are steep beyond their ability, as well as teach proper etiquette and safety. Plan ahead as ski school instructors are limited as is class size. It's the best and fastest way to get your "ski" on.
