Each class will run for about two hours. After the first class on Nov. 17, skiers and snowboarders will have a break over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Because it's not always easy for beginning students to get the right equipment, Canyon Sports will be offering special rental programs to students.

Students will be able to pick up their equipment prior to the first class on Nov. 17 and return it after the last class Dec. 8.

Cost of the four-week rental for skis, boots, bindings and poles will be $31. Cost of the four-week rental for snowboard, bindings and boots will be $35. Special season rates are also available to those Deseret Morning News students who wish to continue skiing or snowboarding.

The school is intended for first-time skiers and snowboarders ages 8 and older. This means skiers and snowboarders who have yet to feel the crunch of snow underfoot or the exhilaration that comes from moving while standing perfectly still.
