Ski/Snowboard Lessons

Mountain School - Rates for 2023-2024 Winter Season

Mount Peter has turned thousands of beginning skiers and snowboarders into life-long enthusiasts. We’re famous for our Free Beginner Lessons on weekends and holidays and we’ve even helped launch a few competitive careers. Free Beginner Lessons are located at the base of the mountain.

Over the decades, our Mountain School has established a reputation as a highly regarded instructional destination by providing an outstanding level of teaching. Lessons are led by instructors certified by the PSIA (Professional Ski Instructors of America) and AASI (American Association of Snowboard Instructors), and our Mountain School Director is a certified member of the PSIA Development Team.

New for the 2023-2024 winter season, Mount Peter in Warwick, NY has recreated their learning center! The Snow Basin Learning Center now has three progressive trails, each with its own carpet lift!

NOTE: Six packs are no longer being offered for the purchase of lessons.

Our Mountain School Programs

Lessons do not include a lift ticket or rentals unless noted. Lift tickets are required to be on the snow. If you are taking a lesson and are needing rentals plan to arrive at least 1 hour to 1 ½ hours prior to your lesson time to get fitted for rentals on weekends and holidays; 1 hour midweek/non-holidays.

Mountain School prices do not include equipment or helmet rental.

Nice ski area that’s compact and easy in/out. Good for beginner ski lessons (haven’t yet tried the overall mountain). Patient, attentive and skilled instructors at the mountain ski camp (kids did the 2hr weekend Kid Ski Camp - they effectively got a private lesson). The size is just right - I dropped the family right next to the rentals and they were on the snow in 15m. Far cry from the madness that’s Mountain Creek. And it’s right off NY thruway so a breeze to get to.

Great place to take your kid for skiing and snowboarding. We went last week for snowboarding they have free lessons for 50 minutes which was great. We had Nick as our instructor he was really good with my son. Really appreciate his time and efforts.

I went snow tubing on Saturday morning with my 2 year old, 6 year old and my niece and nephew who are in the same age bracket. We all had an awesome time. The staff was unbelievably nice, friendly and helpful. One of them almost leaped to their deaths trying to stop a tube from going downhill before others had a chance to move out of the way. Not only are these young men good at their jobs but they are so pleasant considering they are standing out in the cold for long hours. You have my respect and applause ??
