At Mt Seymour, students learn to ski or snowboard through fun, approachable group lessons. Our certified instructors provide expert instruction in groups of approximately 8 students. With pre-set rental equipment, students can gear up quickly and get outside. Our 4-day lesson programs are ideal for developing skills, building confidence, and creating lifelong memories. 

We’re proud to offer what many consider the best beginner terrain on the North Shore. The Goldie Meadows learning area features Vancouver’s only covered magic carpet. The Lodge Chairlift is a comfortable four-seater with a loading conveyor, making it easier for beginners. For more experienced students, the high-speed Mystery Peak Express Chairlift provides access to intermediate and advanced runs.

  • 300-399 (students × lessons): 30 lift tickets
  • 400+ (students × lessons): 40 lift tickets
