Skiing question for novice - help please

You can reserve lessons, lift tickets, and rental equipment online for your group. Buy lessons are booking days ahead because local ski resorts are just opening and are really short staffed.

OP hope you find a good time to go. Skiing is a lot of fun.

By late in the day, most of you should be up on your feet and going down the basic hills. It will get fun towards the end of your first 8 hour days. Before that it's not really fun at all---lots of feeling awkward and falling down.

Night skiing is icy and cold. I don't particularly enjoy it. My kids do because they love to go super fast and don't seem to ever get cold.

Good luck and have fun!!

Night skiing is largely for thrill-seeking teens and experts, not adults skiing for the first time. Good luck for when you do go, though!

Yeah DH wanted to book a couple days worth of lessons for our 5yo and at least for the kids they were filling up pretty far out. May be easier for adults. This area is crazy like that.

The group classes can be really good, but yea, you need to book ahead. The local resorts are probably going to get some good snow the next few days. Monday is usually a good ski day with the holiday.
