Out on the Slopes with the Family?
Family Private Lessons are designed around the needs of the child and give mom, dad or grandparents insight on how to best ski or ride with their child or grandchild. Featuring teaching techniques, what to look for, and where to go, a family that slides together, stays together!
There’re more than just groomers at Pico Mountain – that’s right, the woods are great, too! With a private glades or natural woods lesson, you’ll discover the best spots and learn to ski or ride them like a local.
Tell Us What You Want to Focus on
During checkout, you’ll be prompted to take a short survey to help our instructors fine-tune your private lesson around your goals. Be sure to fill this out with as much detail as possible about what you’d like to focus on, the more we know, the better we can personalize your experience.
At Pico Mountain, private lessons are completely customized the moment you meet your instructor. Instead of choosing from rigid lesson types, you’ll talk about what you want to work on, and together we’ll build your lesson from there.
Some of the directions your lesson can take include:
- Keep it to just the carpet and green slopes
- Refine your skiing, snowboarding, or telemark fundamentals
- Explore freestyle terrain, moguls, or gates
- Ride park & pipe with guidance from trained instructors
- Learn to move through glades and natural woods confidently
- Keep the family together in one inclusive experience
It’s your time on the mountain, let’s make it exactly what you want.
Details
We have 1.5-hour lessons for up to two people, half day lessons and full day lessons for 1-6 people available. All lessons will use the Mountain Sports School lift line (yep, you get to skip right to the front with no waiting.) Please arrive 15 minutes before your lesson start time to pick up your lift ticket, or 30 minutes before if you also need rental equipment.
Ski and snowboard lessons offer coaching for every skier and rider ages 3+, whether you’re an expert freestyler looking to hone your airtime moves or a first timer aiming to gain confidence on snow. Lessons are the best way to personalize your mountain experience. Any skier, snowboarder or telemark skier can schedule a session to fine-tune their turns.

- Please ensure your child has warm, waterproof layers, gloves/mittens and eye protection (sunglasses or goggles).
- Your child (ages 17 years and younger) is required to wear a properly fastened snow sports helmet when participating in a ski or snowboard lesson.
- If your child’s equipment malfunctions, Killington Resort and Pico Mountain staff may select and sign for rentals from our rental shop.
