Private Ski Lessons in Jackson Hole
We offer Private Lessons for all ages. Open the sections below for more information.
Whether it’s been a couple days or a couple years since your last run down a snowy mountain, the experts at Snow King Mountain Sports School can help you have more fun on the snow! We offer private lessons for kids and adults who want to improve their skills on skis or snowboards. Progress at your own pace with coaching tailored to your learning style. Snow King Hotel guests get 50% OFF lift tickets with any private lesson. A major credit card is required for all reservations, and your lesson is not booked until payment has been processed. Call the Snow King Mountain Ski School at (307) 201-5666 for more information or to book a lesson. Skiing is a BIG experience for a young child. Unlike other schools that require you to put your child in a day-long program – much of which may be spent inside – we offer personalized private lessons. This is a 2-hour lesson that’s designed to be a low-pressure introduction to skiing. Private lessons for a young child are a great, low-investment way to test the waters and see if your child likes skiing… or loves it! Price includes magic carpet lift ticket for the duration of the lesson. Children must be between 3 and 5 years old, and be potty trained. Call the Snow King Mountain Ski School at (307) 201-5666 for more information or to book a lesson.

What if I’ve never skied before?
It’s not too late to learn to ski! Our instructors have seen it all, and can help you learn to turn on our beginner-friendly rope tow area. You’ll learn to make wedge turns, and get comfortable on skis.
Do I need my own equipment?
The friendly folks at Snow King Mountain Sports, right in the Snow King Hotel just steps from the Rafferty Lift, can get you suited and booted with ski or snowboard equipment. Call them at 307-201-5096.
What should I wear?
The best option to stay comfortable on the mountain is layers. Begin with a lightweight thermal base layer on both top and bottom, and then add to it from there including fleece pants and top if it’s chilly. If you prefer natural fibers choose wool over cotton. A waterproof or water-resistant top layer is recommended, along with warm gloves or mittens, and a balaclava or other face covering for very cold days. Always wear a helmet and goggles or sunglasses. Sunscreen is also a good idea as the sun bounces off the snow and can be quite powerful.
Snow King Mountain Sports School offers group and private ski and snowboard lessons in Jackson Hole for adults & kids, as well as a variety of Specialty Camps and Clinics.
