Greek Peak School Ski & Board Programs (2025–26)

If your crew has been daydreaming about snow days that actually count, this is your sign. Greek Peak’s School Programs are back for the 2025–26 season with 3 lessons over 6 weeks, tons of on snow time, and a simple setup that works for busy families and school clubs alike. Beginners, we’ve got you. Seasoned riders, you’ll level up fast. And yes—rental deals are available if you don’t have gear yet.

What’s the program, exactly?

• Season window: January 7 – March 1, 2026
• Format: Your pass includes 6 total visits during the season.
• Lessons: You’ll get 3 group lessons (one per week) delivered within the first 4 weeks, so you build skills early and then practice.
• Your day, your pace: The program pass is valid all day on your school’s scheduled program day—so arrive when you can and squeeze in those extra laps.

Who is it for?

Students in school run programs, plus their parent or guardian. Groups are sorted by ability from first timers to advanced, so nobody feels stuck—and nobody’s pushed too fast.

How do lessons work?

Lessons run 45–60 minutes and are grouped by ability. At registration you’ll receive a color‑coded skill tag that makes it easy to find your group and show your current level to instructors and lift staff.

Passes, lifts & ability cards (important!)

To keep everyone safe and progressing, lift access is tied to skills:

• You’ll earn an Ability Card (Green, Blue, or Black) as you demonstrate specific skills.
• Chair 3 is the only lift you can ride without an Ability Card.
• If a lift doesn’t service a green trail, you must have a Blue (Intermediate) or Black (Advanced) Ability Card to load.
• Riding with a school advisor or another student does not replace the card requirement. If you’re with a Greek Peak instructor, follow their direction—they may take you on specific lifts for coaching.
• Program Passes are valid only during the times printed on the pass and only on your school’s scheduled program day. Trying to ski/ride outside that window? You’ll need to visit Guest Services to purchase a regular ticket.

Trail ratings refresher:
Green Circle = Easy • Blue Square = Intermediate • Black Diamond = Advanced • Orange Oval = Terrain Park (terrain park access requires at least Green‑level ability)

Rentals & meal plans

Rentals and meal plans are available as add‑ons and are only valid on your scheduled program day when your school attends. If the school cancels, those add‑ons aren’t available that day.

Weather & cancellations

• If your school cancels due to weather, your pass is still valid that day if you want to come on your own. (Add‑ons like rentals and meal plans won’t be available unless your school attends.)
• If your school attends but you personally can’t make it, that visit is forfeited.

Dates & timing

Programs run January 7 – March 1, 2026. Many schools ride on weekdays; check with your advisor for your specific schedule.

Money stuff (so there are no surprises)

Greek Peak is cashless. Send students with a card or digital payment. If someone only brings cash, there’s a reverse ATM in the base/main ski lodge to convert cash to a card.

Quick checklist for families

• Layers (base layer, mid‑layer, waterproof outerwear), tall socks, gloves, eye protection.
• Label everything – hats and gloves love to wander.
• Snacks & water if not on the meal plan.
• Waivers and any school paperwork.
