Costs & Location

Disabled Sports USA, where I teach, is a nonprofit dedicated to offering adaptive sports instruction at affordable rates.

They offer lessons at Alpine Meadows all season, and at Northstar-at-Tahoe on select non-holiday weekends.

Here are the rates, which include the lesson & lift ticket.

$65 for a 2-1/2 hr lesson at Alpine Meadows

$175 for a 5 hr lessons (9-3p) at Northstar*     (* select days only)

As you can see, these lessons are 1/3 the cost of adaptive lessons at Heavenly Resort, where I worked the last 3 winters. Also, compared to a full price private ski lesson at other North Shore resorts, along with lift ticket, you are saving as much as $350!

Gear is rented separately, and your child is entitled to 1/2-priced gear rental at the Alpine Meadow’s rental shop, or at Tahoe Dave’s. (I recommend you rent locally if you’re staying for more than 1 day in case there are equipment changes needed.)
