Ski school registration is under way

Registration is currently under way for the 61st session of the Deseret News/KSL NewsRadio Ski and Snowboard School.

There will be three lessons offered: Nov. 22, Dec. 6 and Dec. 13. Cost of the lessons and lift access for the three classes is $40.

Ski classes will be at Alta and snowboard classes at Snowbird.

This year there will be a split session in both skiing and snowboarding. The first session will begin at 9:30 a.m. and the second at 1 p.m.

There will be a limit of 200 skiers in each session for skiing and 100 snowboarders in each session for snowboarding.

Those planning to take the snowboard school must register at Canyon Sports, 1844 E. Fort Union Blvd. (7000 South, 801-942-3100), 517 S. 200 West (801-322-4220) or 45 W. 10600 South (801-501-9713). Entry forms will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Students need to make sure to register for either the morning or afternoon class.

Those registering early for skiing can do so at Canyon Sports; the Deseret News offices, 30 E. 100 South; or by mail.

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 feeling of exhilaration that comes from moving while standing perfectly still.
