What to Expect: Answers To Some Frequently Asked Questions

What time should I arrive at the ski area for my lesson?

We suggest arriving about one hour before the lesson time, especially if you will be renting equipment and over the holidays. Be at the lesson meeting place 15 minutes prior to the lesson start time.

Do I need to make a reservation?

Reservations may be required for the Montana Go With A Pro at the ski area of your choice. It is recommended to inquire at their respective ski school desk to make reservations in advance.

What should I wear?

That will depend on the day’s weather. Dress in layers, you can always remove extra clothing if you are too warm. New synthetic base layers will keep you warm and dry. Top with a turtle neck, fleece sweater, parka, ski or snowboard pants, hat, goggles or sunglasses, mittens or gloves, a pair of ski socks and sunscreen! Helmets are usually available for rent. Mittens are warmer than gloves and should be waterproof. A trick the pros use to keep their feet warm is to change into a second, dry pair of ski socks at lunch.

What should I bring?

Extra clothing, purses, backpacks, street shoes can be stored in most ski area base lodges at ski and bag checks or ski lockers. Cafeteria style food is available in most ski areas base lodges. If you forget an item, most ski shops carry ski socks, sunglasses, goggles, hats & gloves, sunscreen, lip balm and other accessories that are sometimes necessities. However, some small resorts may not carry these items ... better to come prepared.
