Working with your Instructor

Do I really need to take a lesson?

“I’ve been an advanced skier for years, and I never had to take a lesson before. I’m curious about trying your revolving slopes, but why do I need to schedule a lesson?”

Great question! Sessions at The Alpine Factory are by appointment, for one-hour lessons. An Instructor leads each lesson to safely operate the slope for all participants. We provide Instructors, but in reality they wear more than one hat (well, helmet)… think of them more like your instructor/coach/rental tech/ski patrol/liftie, all included in your lesson!

Our Instructors are highly trained and professionally certified, so if you're open to getting some tips on how to improve your technique, they can help you achieve results. Our group class sizes are very small – 3 people max – so you will receive personalized instruction tailored to you. For accelerated learning, we also offer private lessons. We operate by appointment to make sure we assign you to the right lesson for an awesome experience. Same-day appointments are often available, and you can book online, by email or by calling 651-330-1121.

If you’re not convinced that getting any pointers or advice is for you, your Instructor will respect your wishes while you ski or snowboard, but will still be present for your safety. Throughout your lesson, they will check in with you to make sure you’re comfortable with the speed and pitch of the revolving slope, and will make adjustments at any time as needed.

Even if you’ve never been motivated to take a lesson before, our Instructors are friendly and encouraging, and will help you have a fun experience at The Alpine Factory, no matter what your goals may be.

See you on the slopes soon!
