Verdict
What do You Get with Your Free Lift Ticket & Snowboard Lesson Package?
Basically you get a free Learn To Ride lesson package. The Canyons is an official Learn To Ride Center and offers the clinic to first time snowboarders normally for $99. I did this lesson a few years back and thought it was a pretty good deal and the instructors were great. They give you a full day lesson and full day lift ticket on the beginner lift at mid-mountain, just next to the Red Pine Lodge. They also normally give you the full day of equipment rentals with this package, but in this case you already got your Burton Board!
About the Package – Restrictions & What You Get:
- This is for first-timers, a beginner lesson, so if you are above that level and buy a qualifying board and do not want the lesson – the deal is transferrable – sweet! Just give it to a friend or family member as a gift and tell them to buy you lunch on the slopes in return!
- The full day lesson is 2.5 hours in the morning, break for one hour lunch, then 2.5 hours in the afternoon. This is plenty of time to get the basics down and learn enough to be able to do some turns on your own by the end of the day – if you can last that long!
- Must be at least 15 years old for the lesson
- Call at a minimum 48 hours in advance of the day you want to take your lesson. This lesson package books up quick and there is no guarantee there will be a spot open on the day you want if you do not call in advance. The Canyons especially recommends advance reservations are made for lessons during their “Premium Periods” which are: 12/19/2009 – 1/2/2010, 1/16/2010 – 1/18/2010, 2/13/2010 – 4/11/2010. If you have to cancel, do it at least more than 48 hours in advance, otherwise fees will be imposed.
So if you are looking to get a new snowboard, consider one of the Burton snowboards listed above and you get a free $99 lesson and lift ticket deal thrown in. Even if you do not get one of the Burton boards, you still should consider getting the Learn To Ride lesson and lift ticket package at The Canyons because it is a great deal, especially if you are a beginner.
