Sports School FAQ’s
Why are age categories for ski and snowboard lessons fixed?
Age categories ensure lessons are tailored to kids’ physical, cognitive, and social development, promoting safety, effective learning, and a comfortable group dynamic, regardless of individual ski levels.
- Developmental Differences: Age categories are designed based on developmental milestones in motor skills, coordination, and physical abilities. This ensures kids are taught appropriately for their stage of growth.
- Safety Concerns: Placing younger children in older groups may increase their risk of injury, as older groups often progress to more challenging terrain.
- Instructional Effectiveness: Lessons are tailored to the cognitive and social abilities of each age group, promoting effective learning and engagement.
- Peer Learning: Children learn better and feel more comfortable in a group with peers of the same age, which helps foster confidence and enjoyment.
- Ski Level ≠ Readiness: Even if a child is advanced for their age, their physical stamina and ability to handle the pace of older groups may not align.
- By keeping children in the appropriate age category, we can ensure a safer, more enjoyable, and effective learning experience for everyone.

What kind of equipment do I need?
- Skiers will need ski boots, skis, and poles. Snowboarders will need snowboard boots and a snowboard. Our rentals department can fit you with equipment suited to your height, weight, and ability. Helmets are available for rent, and kids' helmets are included with all rental packages that include lessons.
- Sun Peaks offers rental skis and snowboards designed for all ability levels. When renting, simply let the technician know your ski or snowboard level, and they'll assist in selecting the right equipment for you.
Do I need to purchase a lift-ticket?
To access any of the lifts, including the learning zone, all guests must have either a lift ticket or a season pass.
How many people are in each group lesson?
Group lessons have a maximum of three people per group, regardless of age category.
Will I be able to pick my instructor?
For group lessons, instructor requests cannot be guaranteed. However, for private lessons, we will assign an instructor based on availability.
What are the benefits of a private lesson?
Private lessons offer guests the full attention of an instructor, with no distractions from other participants. These lessons are tailored to your pace and focus on your specific needs and goals. There is no set structure, making it an ideal option for those who haven’t skied in a while and would like a refresher on technique. For example, you could focus on improving technique on a blue run before moving on to more challenging black runs.
