Frequently Asked Questions
What if it snows when I have lessons reserved?
We do experience unexpected snowstorms, but that only brings you more of the Greatest Snow On Earth®! All lessons for adults and children will take place on time regardless of the weather. Fees will apply to lessons canceled after the deadline.
Can I have my assistant or Travel Agent book my Skier Services reservations?
To ensure that Skier Services products are booked accurately and to provide complete information and security, we prefer to speak directly with our guests. However, if you would like to authorize your assistant to book your reservations and make changes for you, please let us know.
We will be visiting Deer Valley with other families. Can we make everyone's reservation in one file to make it easier?
Actually, that will make things more difficult for you. By having one file for each family with your own information and payments, we are able to keep a more accurate record of your activities. Our agents will be more than happy to set up a file for each individual family, secure with its own payment and liability information. Also, this ensures the privacy of the information in your file.
How do I know which group program to book for my child?
We have that covered! The highly-trained child development experts on our staff have gone to great lengths to put together programs that will instill the love of skiing as well as entertain children 3 - 17 years of age. Our children's lessons are structured to encourage young skiers and meet their needs both developmentally and physically. If you feel your child would do better in another environment, we encourage you to book private lessons. In your children's best interest, we may move them to the appropriate program based on their motor or communication skills or for safety reasons. Minimum age requirements are strictly observed for safety reasons.
What is included in a rental package?
A full rental package includes skis, boots and poles. If you will need a helmet, please ask our agent to reserve one for you at an additional cost. Our equipment is never used for more than a few seasons to ensure a high-quality rental package. In order to provide you with the most enjoyable experience, we recommend advance reservations for all Skier Services products.
Can or should I tip my ski instructor?
Tipping is not required; however, it is appreciated for exceptional service. A 15-20% tip based on cost of lesson can be a thoughtful way to express your gratitude.
What if children's group lessons or child care are not available for my dates?
If we are not able to confirm a group lesson or child care reservation, we have a wait list. We will place your children individually on the wait list for the appropriate program and specific date(s). We must have a complete guest file, including email address and credit card number. If your requested date becomes available, we will reserve the activity, process payment and notify you by email. This may happen any time up to two days prior to your requested date. If you do not receive an email, please check in at any of our seven Skier Services locations the day before or the day of and we will do our best to assist you. If you do receive an email and your plans have changed, you must comply with our cancellation policy in order to receive a full refund for the lessons booked.
Can I take a private lesson with my children?
Because adults and children learn at a different pace and through varying teaching techniques, it is better to not share the lesson time. We suggest that you take separate lessons or split the time.
Is it possible for family members or friends to be in the same group lesson?
We cannot guarantee any placement in group lessons. To ensure a quality lesson, we must form classes based on age and ability zone.
What if I have a lesson at 9 a.m. and my child's group lesson doesn't begin until 10 a.m.?
Our Children's Center offers complimentary early drop-off care between 8:30 and 9:15 a.m. for all children who are booked into group lessons. Ask our Skier Services Reservations Agents for details.
What will my child eat for lunch and snacks in group lessons or child care?
The Children's Center serves a variety of "kid-approved" options that are nutritious and tasty. If your child is unable to eat certain foods, please fill out a 'Special Needs' form so our staff can help monitor his/her food selections. You may also bring a lunch or snack for your child, but please be aware that our facilities are nut-free.
Can my child still meet his/her group class if they are late?
All activities begin promptly at their designated times. Please allow a minimum of 45 minutes to arrange for equipment rentals and arrival at your meeting location on time. Due to the size of the resort and the number of skiers enrolled in activities, we are not able to accommodate late arrivals. Refunds will not be issued.
