Brave the well-groomed 300 foot vertical, attend a lesson, or relax in the lodge. If everyone is a beginner, they will all be working in the same beginners area on the hill so will still be close to each other and will be able to watch and cheer each other on.One of three ski areas in Oakland County, Pine Knob welcomes skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels with 14 trail runs, six chairlifts, four rope tows, three terrain parks, and two wonder carpets. Doing this ensures that everyone gets the personalized attention they need to help them learn best. We would recommend putting the two 10 year-old twins in a semi private class as long as they are similar in physical ability, and then the two adult parents could be in their own semi private. We would recommend putting the four year-old in a private lesson. Normally students who are over seven years old do best in semi private or group settings. The lesson that a 4 year-old needs is very different from older students and the younger the skier, the more one-on-one attention they need. We recommend splitting it up so that everyone gets the attention they need. We have a 4 year old, 10 year-old twins, and two parents. Our family wants to learn how to ski together. Students in a group or semi private lesson must pick one discipline only. ![]() Can we take a combination lesson for both skiers and snowboarders?Ī. Skiers and Snowboarders should dress in layers so they can shed clothing if they become overheated. New snowboarders should also wear wrist guards. A hat is better than earmuffs or a headband and we highly encourage everyone to wear a helmet. Mittens are generally warmer than gloves. Gloves or mittens should be waterproof and be able to stand the abuse of a tow rope. A synthetic blend turtleneck or long sleeve shirt with a sweater or fleece over it and a waterproof parka are best. Both skiers and snowboarders should wear: one pair of synthetic ski or snowboard socks, long johns or fleece pants with nylon windproof snow pants. Guests who are not in the student program are highly encouraged to take lessons, especially their first time out.Ī. We feel that they have more fun when they are more skilled at their sport, and more importantly they are safer. Kids in the student program are required to take lessons in order to participate in the reduced rate after school program. They also instill a lifelong passion for the sport.
