Lesson Programs

Ski Bradford has a large teaching staff and lesson programs. Dozens of schools are involved in after school ski clubs where many of the children involved partake in an hour long lesson every week. The capacity is there that 30 lessons can be run simultaneously per hour and even more for after school programs where hour long lessons begin every half hour between 3 and 5 PM. Walk-in lessons are also extremely popular at the area as many guests are spontaneous customers who had not planned in advance for a day of skiing but may have been encouraged to ski by good weather etc.
