First Timers – Skiers and Snowboarders

Teton Pass Ski Resort is a brilliant ski hill for first timers to learn how to ski and snowboard.  Our friendly team will help you choose the lift/lesson/rental package that will suit you, and the lifties will show you the ropes at the conveyor, platter/poma and chairlift.  Our lift lines are short or none existent and relaxed so there’s no pressure to get up the chair the first time.

If you are driving, you must carry a set of tire chains that fit your vehicle (this applies to 2 wheel drive vehicles).

Drive up the road until you see the chain fitting sign, this will be at one of several locations and on a wider section of the road; you must fit your chains where indicated. If you do not see a sign you can keep driving on up to the car park.  Please park straight, and follow the instructions of the car park attendants.

Next, come along to the ticket office at Main Lodge Building. Our ticket office staff will look after your requirements, regarding lift passes, ski or snowboard rental, clothing and lessons, and inform you where to collect the above. Credit card payment is available on the mountain and we accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express.

Check out Tickets and Pricing for details on beginner packages consisting of skis, boots & poles, or snow board hire, a lesson and learners lift pass.

Tips
  • The toilets are in the main lodge building.
  • The beginner’s slopes are above the top car park and are groomed regularly.
  • Your first experience may be a little daunting – to make it easier, pick a fine day and wear warm clothing.
  • The learner slopes are in the sun all day which makes for more enjoyment.
  • Ski & snowboard group lessons are available at 10.30 am & 1.30pm and run for 2 hours. Private lessons are available any time, no need to pre-book, just check in at the Ski School.
  • Remember our staff are here to serve you, and help you use the lifts. If you are unsure about anything – just ask one of our friendly staff.
  • You may upgrade from a beginners package to use the more advanced lifts at any time. You need to visit the ticket or rental office and pay a little extra to change your ticket.

Have a great day on the mountain.
