Welcome to Bear Valley Mountain Resort’s 2024/2025 Snow Sports Mid-Week Educational Program!
Bear Valley’s mid-week educational program is a comprehensive program that includes a lesson, rental and
ticket for the student. If you have any questions during the scheduling process and visit, contact Mariah Schimke at mariahm@bearvalley.com or call 209.753.2327 x110.
​
• This program is for skiers and snowboarders aged 6-18 years old.
• Minimum student enrollment requirement is 15. Maximum student enrollment is 50.
• Each school is allowed a maximum of 5 visits per year to Bear Valley.
• Students may try either skiing or snowboarding.
• Each visit will include a mandatory group lesson.
• Be sure to inform us if you will have any students that will need an adaptive lesson. We are happy to accommodate them, but advanced reservations of no less than two weeks are required.
All students will meet at the lesson area, with equipment, 10 minutes before the lesson time. Each student may be asked to perform a number of skills, drills and maneuvers to be assessed on their abilities. This helps determine the different lesson levels. We ask all students to arrive by 9AM to ensure a smooth schedule for the educational component of the program. Late arrivals will affect the schedule for lessons throughout the day. With space being limited in the rental shop, keep in mind it will now take more time fitting everyone to the correct rental equipment. ​All students (including beginners) will have a 1 hr lesson. Some of these students may be asked to return at a later time depending on ability level. Students must arrive on time for the assessment. Late students will not be allowed to enter a class already in session, and will be released to their chaperone, with no refund, replacement or reimbursement given for the missed class.​
