Helpful Hints
Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski Resort specializes in teaching first timers and novices and is committed to being the best place for family fun and learning in the Tahoe region. Here are some tips to make your experience as enjoyable as possible.
- Purchase a ski or snowboard package (includes lift ticket, lesson and rental equipment). Reservations are highly recommended.
- Allow a least one hour before your lesson to be fitted with your rental equipment on most days. Arrive up to two hours before your lesson on weekends and holiday peak dates (or at 8AM for a 9AM lesson), so you can make your lesson on time.
- Meet 10 minutes before your lesson starts. Snowflakes (skiers ages 3-6) meet at the Snowflake Meeting Area. All other lessons meet at the Learning Center.
- Be sure you are wearing appropriate clothing for skiing and riding. Key essentials are eye wear, gloves, jacket and snow pants. Kids taking lessons are required to have eye wear, gloves, waterproof pants and a helmet to participate. Please be sure to pack these items for your child, this will make their first experience great!
- Ask questions! Our staff is here to help and will do everything possible to make your day on the slopes a memorable one.
