We have had an amazing experience with the Keystone Ski and Ride School. We had/have both of our kids in the school. In 2 seasons our oldest can now confidently ski with us on groomed black runs. Our youngest has fallen in love with skiing and is progressing well. All of the instructors are really good and the school is flexible to match your kids with the right personality of the instructor. I highly recommend the program without reservation.
Our 5 teenagers had a private lesson with Dennis H. and we were so pleased with him! He immediately put us to ease and the kids thoroughly enjoyed him. Dennis' knowledge and ability to relate to the teenagers was far more than what we expected. Dennis is one of the main reasons we plan on returning next year!
Instructor Ben Anklan ties with one other instructor (also at Keystone) for best ski instructor I have ever had. I've been skiing for 35 years and over the years have had numerous lessons, so I have had quite a few instructors. For intermediate skiers, Ben takes the time to break the instruction into components, and for our small class those components were clearly chosen by him to address what mattered most to us, rather than a cookbook formula. He is incredibly patient and positive, has a great manner with people, and is a born teacher. I don't know whether he instructs children, although I do know that he works with teens in the summer, and I would think he'd be a great ski instructor for any age group. (I'm a mom, so) Ben helped me improve in 4 or 5 ways, and those improvements took me from being intimidated by steep (blue) inclines to enjoying groomed black runs. Cowabunga!
They took my 5 yr old daughter skiing for the first time without the ski pants which we provided for her to wear. Her regular pants were soaked and her legs were freezing by the end of the day. No one called us to tell us of the problem. It could have been resolved with a simple phone call. Not sure we’ll be back.
Great ski and ride school - kids loved it, good instructors, and location. Very flexible on renting kids gear for additional days (saves time and hassle).
we went into the ski school for the twins and the lady was absolutely RUDE to us. it was ridiculous because she was in there by herself you would think youd be able to give people information for their kids working in a school for kids. they should have friendlier staff.
