We had a great season. Everyone was friendly and especially helpful. Both of my daughters participated in the First Chair program and I'm so happy that they did! They improved tremendously. It's very likely that I will not be able to keep up with them next season :) We can't wait for next season!

My daughter received the First Chair program as a Christmas gift from her grandparents. She had a wonderful experience, and the instruction and one-on-one time she received was amazing. Her instructors (Mark Weitz and Christy Lohoff) were top-notch. Having never skied before this, she absolutely fell in love with it thanks to this program.
