Vermont's Okemo Mountain Resort offers free lessons to
first-timers looking to learn to ski or snowboard.
Snowsports neophytes
and potential first-timers have just run out of reasons for not learning
how to ski or snowboard. From today through December 21,
Okemo Mountain Resort
in Ludlow, Vermont, is offering complimentary learn-to-ski and
learn-to-snowboard group lesson packages.
First-time or
beginner skiers and snowboarders visiting Okemo early this season can
take part in a complimentary beginner program to learn to ski or
snowboard absolutely free. This unique offer is designed to generate
excitement for snowsports and encourage beginners to broaden their
experience at the start of the winter season.
Okemo’s complimentary package includes a combination lower-mountain lift
ticket, a Level 1 or 2 beginner group lesson, offered daily at 10 a.m.
and 1 p.m., and introductory-level rental equipment (skis, boots and
poles, or boots and snowboard). This program is available for ages 7 and
up at no charge every day through December 21. Beginners should arrive
at the Okemo Express Rental Shop, located in the Okemo Clock Tower base
area, about an hour before lesson time to register and for equipment
fitting. A credit card will be required to secure free rental gear and
anyone under the age of 18 must have a guardian present to sign a rental
waiver form.
As an added bonus, participants in Okemo’s free learn-to-ski or
learn-to-snowboard program will receive a free First Tracks Plus card,
entitling them to continued discounts and benefits all season long on
group lessons, lift tickets and rental equipment.
