The lesson is one part of the day.

Aspen Privé helps coordinate private ski and snowboard lessons through the ski school, alongside equipment, transport and family schedules. The school confirms instruction and availability; Paul brings the rest of the day into focus.

01 / THE DETAILS

Start with how everyone skis.

A confident returning skier and a first-time child may want very different days. Share ages, discipline, experience and goals before deciding whether the whole party should learn together.

Be specific about what would help: confidence on unfamiliar terrain, an introduction to skiing or coaching on a particular skill. Let the school recommend the arrangement.

02 / THE DETAILS

Choose the lesson with the school.

Aspen Snowmass offers private ski and snowboard lessons through its Ski and Snowboard School across the four mountains. Its current private-lesson information describes groups of up to five; confirm the right product for your party and dates.

For 2026–27, Aspen Snowmass lists private lessons from $697, morning, afternoon or all day, on all four mountains, for up to five people. Lift tickets and rentals are extra. Lessons include priority chairlift access and free overnight ski storage and transfer between mountains. You can request an instructor by name, though it is not guaranteed, and booking 7 or more days ahead gets the best price.

Two deluxe options run in peak weeks: Highlands Deluxe from $899 (January 19 to February 6) and Buttermilk Deluxe from $797 (January 5 to February 6), each for up to five people.

Paul can help coordinate the request. Instruction, instructor arrangements and the final reservation are confirmed by the ski school.

03 / THE DETAILS

Three pieces. One morning.

The school lists lift tickets and rentals separately from private lessons. Confirm instruction, mountain access and equipment individually, unless your actual booking explicitly includes them.

Then align the meeting place with fitting and transport. For families taking separate lessons, write down who is handling each arrival and pickup.

04 / THE DETAILS

Ask for what matters to you.

A language preference, a particular instructor or a specific learning goal belongs in the initial request. Treat each as a preference until the school confirms it.

Keep the final mountain, meeting point, time and change terms accessible. Recheck the school’s guidance for this trip rather than relying on last season’s arrangements.

The rest of your Aspen stay

A lesson belongs inside a good day.

The equipment, the people and the time around the lesson matter too.

Arrive ready to begin.

Settle fitting before the meeting time, at the residence or through your chosen rental store. Confirm lift access separately, and keep the rental provider’s adjustment contact handy.

One party. Different days.

Tell us who is skiing, who is learning and who would prefer another plan. Agree how everyone reconnects for lunch or afterward; a private lesson should work for the people in it.

Plan beyond the lesson

Something to come home to.

Bring dinner into the plan before the day fills up. An evening at the residence can work around children’s schedules and the time everyone returns from the mountain.
