The yurt is open to our clients.
We are located on the East Side of Skibowl, also known as the Multorpor side. 31315 E Multorpor Dr Government Camp OR
Your arrival time should be 9:30-9:45 for am classes, and 12:30-12:45 for afternoon classes. If you arrive after this time, then you are considered late for your lesson, no matter what time your lesson is scheduled at. Classes are scheduled later than arrival time for many reasons. New late policy is we will decide if your student can enter the class with minimal disruption.
Please be advised that it takes way more time than you think to get to class. It is not just the drive time, but also getting to your destination from your car. Your child is not used to wearing all the clothing and gear, so give the gift of time. Whatever time you think after looking at drive time, etc., now double it.
The nearby Multorpor lodge will have limited services - please check Ski Bowl’s website for additional information. Please pack a lunch.

Skibowl Terrain
Skibowl has some challenging terrain that we carefully prepare our classes for. Many of the 'easy' runs require traversing potentially difficult slopes. This is why all of our students must be able to stop, turn, side step and 'duck walk' before using the chair lift.
While many ski schools have moved to utilizing magic carpets to limit frustration at the beginning of the learning process, we have found that this movement foundation as well as awareness on skis is critical to later development in the sport and teaches edge control.
Please be prepared that a 'chair lift' student may begin in our Red ('Foundations') or Green ('Beginning') classes that start outside the yurt and at the rope tow, respectively.

Our goal is to teach children that want to ski and snowboard for life, and we believe the best way to do that is to progress at the child's individual level to build their confidence. Remember that the hardest thing to learn on skis the first day is how to get back up when you fall!
