At Mt Seymour, students will learn to ski and snowboard in group lessons that prioritize safety and fun. Expert care is provided by our certified instructors who come from all over the world. Our 4 Day programs are ideal for skill development, building confidence and making lifelong memories.

Our resort features some of the best teaching terrain available. The Goldie Meadows learning area includes Vancouver's only covered magic carpet. We have upgraded the Lodge Chairlift to a four-seater with a loading conveyor, increasing capacity by 70%. The high-speed Mystery Peak Express Chairlift offers access to intermediate and advanced terrain.

The registration process has been streamlined with teachers in mind. Typically, each instructor works with a group of 8 students, though class sizes may vary. Rental equipment is pre-set for students, allowing them to hit the slopes in no time.
