Adult Lessons
One of the best things about skiing and snowboarding is the growth and change you experience. Your goals change—last season you focused on fun with the family; this season you want to get better. Conditions are different—powder, groomers, bumps. And gear gets better. Every season, every day, you’re on the mountain is a unique experience. Our Adult Lessons, which max out at 4 skiers/riders, will ensure it’s your best day on the mountain, whether that means a coach pushing you outside of your comfort zone, learning a new skill, or simply focusing on the fun of sliding down a snow-covered mountain.

Terrain Based Learning
Terrain Based Learning offers an exciting, hands-on approach to learning skiing and snowboarding. Instead of starting on flat beginner slopes, participants practice on terrain that mirrors real mountain conditions, fostering confidence and quicker skill development.
Instructors use features like rollers, banked turns, and obstacles to create an engaging and intuitive learning environment. This method makes the learning process accessible, enjoyable, and ideal for all ages and skill levels. With five tailored modules, Terrain Based Learning transforms winter sports education into an interactive and unforgettable adventure.

Trained in avalanche safety and with years of exploring JHMR’s and the BTNF’s backcountry under their skis and boards, JHMR Backcountry Guides create custom side- and back-country experiences in this vast wilderness that will redefine what an “epic” ski day is.
