Never been before? --- Here's what your first time on the snow at Blandford will be like!

First things first:
Make sure you get to the ski area at least an hour before your scheduled lesson time to allow for ticketing and rental processing.

1 - Ticketing:
As you cross the bridge from our parking lot, you'll see two lodges. Our Ticket Window will be in the Old Lodge (or what some folk have begun to call the Fireplace Lodge) on the left. Enter via the deck under the red "LIFT TICKETS" sign. There you'll purchase your lift ticket or choose your Lift/Lesson and/or Rental package

 

2 - Rental shop:
Next you'll head to our rental shop with your ticket located in the basement of the New Lodge. Head back out the way you came into the ticketing area, go down the stairs and look for the big blue "RENTALS" sign.over the door.Once there, show your ticket to the attendant and you'll fill our the appropriate forms, be fitted for boots, then skis or snowboard, and shown the correct way to get into and out of your gear.


3 - Lessons:
Now it's off to the lesson area. On weekends and holidays*, our lesson times are 10:30a and 1p. Again, plan to arrive at least 1 hour prior to your lesson start time.

The SnowSports Education Center Meeting Place is located to the left of the Broadway Chair (in front of the lodges) and just to the left of our new Polar XPress carpet tow.

Our friendly instructors in blue jackets can get you to the right group from there.


Package Pricing:- Available weekends & holidays*
