Victor Constant, Dept. of MA&E, who as coach of skiing, designed and supervised construction of these slopes and tows and by his skill and leadership, developed recreational and competitive skiing into major activities at the Military Academy.

Sign-up for lessons Click Here

Lessons are designed for various levels of ability, from the entry level to the advanced student who wants to improve their technique and knowledge. Students will be evaluated by the instructors to determine skills and will be placed in groups according to ability and age. Entry level students can expect to become familiar with the equipment, balance, agility, edges and stopping. Those who have progressed will work on: change of direction, linked turns, match the skis, maneuver over varied terrain, and ride the chairlift. All students will be coached to improve their skills and progress to their next steps. NOTE: Student’s progression varies.

What do you need:
Lesson Only: you have your own equipment; you have a season pass.
Lesson, Snow Pass: you have your own equipment; you need lesson and snow pass.
Lesson, Rental: you already have a season pass; you need lesson and rental.
Lesson, Snow Pass, Rentals: you don't have anything; need all three.

Lessons Disclaimer:

Children MUST be able to take care of their own personal needs (potty trained). This program is designed for children new to the sport and not yet able to use a chair lift.

Please remember, the size of the group is based on skill ability, maturity, and age of students. All of Victor Constant instructors are 100% volunteers. We try to keep the same instructor(s) with the group for the entire session but please be aware that there can be substitution during the 4-week period for Plebes, and 5-week period for Ski Wee.
