The kids ski school is so nice. They did take the kids goggles and I couldn't get them replaced. Despite that bad thing, I can't really say anything negative about their service.

Consider doing a "Max 3" lesson versus the other options. I did three this year and had three very good instructors. Usually I only had one other person with me. I found the the three hours (12:30 - 3:30) was the right amont of time to be in a lesson. TIP: ask for a "three peat". If you buy two... More

"The Ranch" children's ski school did an amazing job teaching my son to ski for the first time. He went two days from 9:30-3:00 and had a great time & learned so much. The instructors were so great & I felt very comfortable leaving him in their hands. We enjoyed sneaking beside the area & watching him. It's amazing how... More

My children (age 6 and 9) experienced snow and skiing for the first time ever. They fell in love with the ski school and the instructors. They couldn't wait to go back each day. I was only planning on having them take 2 days of lessons and they begged me for a 3rd day. Pricing is a little high but... More

We learned and continue to learn to Ski through this school. Started out with group lessons first years. Been doing private lessons for the past 4 years and really improved. Instructors are really knowledgeable, courteous and fun to ski with. Can't wait to get back on the slopes.

We had a very good experience. Both children finally enjoyed the black trails. Instructor (IVAN KARACHOVANOV) was awesome, kind, gentle. Easy scheduling.

In the morning they group equal levels for group sessions. Full day lessons are from 10-3. I was lucky to have Valerie, she is great.

Overall the kids had a great day and the instructor was very nice. Most people don't realize the instructors only make 9-10 dollars an hour and the resort pockets the rest. I gave a 50$ tip after I found that out. Obviously if you are looking to ski cheap don't do it here! Kids also said they liked the food,... More

With Beaver Lake and the Holy Cross Wilderness Area surrounding Beaver Creek, go for a hike after taking lessons on how to go down artificially-groomed slopes. http://www.amazon.com/Holy-Cross-Wilderness-Area-ebook/dp/B004AYD70M/ref=pd_sim_sbs_kstore_1?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2
