Your child will love our enthusiastic, caring instructors and terrain-based learning environment. We want your child’s experience at Powderhorn to be as fun and as safe as possible!

Where To Go

When booking or checking in for lessons, your first stop on the mountain is the Ski and Ride desk, located in the Base Lodge. From the main front entrance, go up the first flight of blue stairs and look left.

The Children's Learning Center is located on the ground floor at the west end of the lodge. From outside, while facing the front doors of the lodge, you will see the Children's Learning Center sign below the Bob Beverly Check-In to your right, and the door is to the right of the employee entrance. The CLC is open daily from 8:30-3:30. Come say hi!

Children's Learning Center Cancellation Policy

Please note, lessons may be cancelled and rescheduled or refunded with 48 hours notice. Lessons will not be rescheduled or refunded if less than 48 hours notice is given or in the event that you do not arrive for your lesson.

Proper Clothing

We’re in Colorado, expect every kind of weather. All guests should wear winter and snow appropriate coats, snow pants, hats or helmets, mittens or gloves, and googles or sunglasses. Wear only one pair of socks to avoid slipping and bunching inside your ski boots. Sun intensity increases with altitude – we recommend sunscreen and lip protection.
