Learn to burn at Heavenly

"With Heavenly's high elevation and expertise in snowmaking and grooming, Heavenly is offering the best snow surface conditions at Lake Tahoe. It's the perfect time to learn to ski or snowboard or to improve your skills at the highly-acclaimed Ski and Snowboard Schools of Heavenly," said Blaise Carrig, Heavenly's CEO.

The best way to make your first turn on skis or a snowboard is to take a lesson, but, lessons aren't just for beginners. Even intermediate or advanced skiers and snowboarders can learn a new technique to polish and refine their skills on the steeps, bumps or powder.

With the technological advancements in shaped skis, development of women's equipment and terrain park twin tips skis and park/pipe snowboards, skiing and snowboarding has come a long way. So has the instruction.

More families and friends want to spend quality time together on the slopes. A good way is to take a private group lesson for up to six people, providing expert coaching plus a customized, guided tour of the mountain.

Heavenly prides itself on hiring the top coaches in the region who create a learning environment rich in positive reinforcement and encouragement. Six of the top ten spots on the Professional Ski Instructors of America's Western Region Demonstration Team are held by Heavenly ski instructors (Michael Rogan, Robin Barnes, Heidi Ettlinger, Steve Evenson, Tim Rankins, Greg Lyons and Marty Moore). Two of PSIA's six snowboard demo team members are from Heavenly (Josh Spoelstra and Ryan Goralski). And Rogan, Barnes and Spoelstra were selected to PSIA's National Demo Team.
