January is Here – Which Means it’s Learn to Ski Month!

Join us this month as we celebrate National Learn to Ski Month! With January providing optimal learning conditions paired with the fact that Snowbowl is home to the largest beginner terrain in the Southwest, this month is the perfect time to discover the happiness that skiing and snowboarding bring us all. Plus, we’re now offering midweek deals on lessons and rentals. 

Here’s Why January Offers Great Learning Conditions
