It’s Learn to Ski & Snowboard Month in Truckee/Tahoe!
If your New Year’s Resolution included the desire to learn to ski or snowboard, January is all about YOU! It’s “Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month” across America – including resorts in the Truckee/Tahoe Region.
To help you to kick-start your resolution goals, we’ve done some research on the top beginner programs that are available throughout the High Sierra.
This select month started back in 2009 when the concept was introduced by the National Ski Areas Association as a “trial” to get more people involved in the sport.
Today, the program continues throughout the USA. It’s all about an effort to continue to grow the market and expose first timers to the sport that the Elder family has enjoyed since we started our kids on the slopes when they were three years old!
The joy of spending a whole day on the slopes with your family offers immeasurable memories for a lifetime. If this is all new to you, we’ll reassure you that the time you invest in lessons will have endless rewards.
If you want any personal insight about how to get started on the slopes or where to go, please contact us at any time at Elder Group Tahoe Real Estate in Truckee, CA. With two collegiate ski racers and a deep family commitment to Alpine skiing, the Elder family knows these mountains!
