Slopeside School Program - BC Based Schools
Our Slopeside School Program pairs highly trained instructors with a fun, safe environment free of lift lines and crowds. Designed for elementary and secondary schools across British Columbia, the program runs Monday to Friday and offers ski and snowboard lessons, with Nordic options also available. Students can build skills, boost confidence and create lasting memories on the snow.
Students must be with an instructor at all times while on the hill.

Booking Process
Dates are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Bookings for the 2025-26 school year open September 1, 2025. To reserve, please complete the online registration form. If your initial requested dates are unavailable, we will provide alternative options.
A rental preset sheet and payment form will be sent to the group leader. Both forms must be completed and emailed to sales@sunpeaksresort.com at least 14 days before the visit.
This ensures the rental shop and Sport School instructors have time to prepare for the group’s size and needs, and allows the Groups Coordinator to connect with the organizer if any questions arise.
