About
Adventure Ski & Snowboard School offers ski lessons, snowboard lessons, and sports conditioning on an endless revolving carpet snow sports simulator. Lessons include beginner to advanced snowboard skills progression such as heel-side, toe-side, and linking turns, as well as beginner to advanced ski skills progression including wedge, Christy, and parallel turns. Participants also practice specific exercises such as one leg standing.
• Ages: 3–18 years old
• Schedule: Currently closed for the off-season and scheduled to re-open in October 2026; each lesson on the SnowSports Simulator is 25 minutes, and each 25 minute lesson equals a full day of conventional group instruction and physical exertion on the mountain.
Adventure Ski & Snowboard School has over 40 years of experience using the American Teaching System (ATS), the same method used at mountain resorts across the nation. The program uses an endless revolving carpet Snow Sports Simulator, which is a wide special treadmill made for skiing and snowboarding, with a full-length mirror at the bottom of the slope to see while learning and to monitor improvement. The simulator operates in a warm, dry, controlled learning environment without the distractions of cold, crowded slopes, chairlift lines, or adverse weather conditions, and it is open rain or shine. The school can teach 3–4 people at a time, and each student has their own instructor, and it is described as ideal for all ages and abilities, and disabilities.
Adventure Ski & Snowboard School’s instructors are highly trained, enthusiastic skiers and snowboarders who continually update their technical knowledge of both sports through professional seminars and clinics. The Director, Mark Fox, has over 45 years of skiing experience, over 35 years of snowboarding experience, and has been a professional instructor to all levels of skiers and snowboarders for more than 30 years. Kent, one of the instructors, has a BA degree in Recreational Therapy from San Diego State University, has been a California registered Recreational Therapist since 1981, is certified by the P.S.I.A., has earned specialist credentials for teaching children and seniors, and is certified by the National Handicap Sports Association to teach all types of disabilities. Adventure Ski & Snowboard School is a member of the Professional Ski Instructors of America and the American Association of Snowboard Instructors (PSIA/AASI) and is a member school of the P.S.I.A./A.A.S.I.
The school provides all equipment for lessons and recommends that participants bring their own boots if they have them. Recommended clothing includes long pants such as sweatpants or warm-ups, a long sleeve T-shirt, and full length socks, along with a bottle of drinking water. Long pants are recommended instead of shorts to avoid rug burn if a fall causes a knee to hit the carpet, and pants should be loose enough around the ankles to go outside the ski or snowboard boots, with nothing besides the foot and sock inside the boot to avoid wrinkles or lumps that might cause discomfort.
Adventure Ski & Snowboard School notes that it has been proudly serving ski and snowboard needs in Southern California for families in San Diego County, Orange County, Riverside County, and Los Angeles County cities listed on its Contact page. Testimonials describe children and adults using the program to prepare for ski and snowboard trips, including a 13-year-old transitioning from skiing to snowboarding through a 10-lesson program with additional practice sessions, a four-year-old who had never skied on snow before and then moved up levels in resort classes, teenage boys who learned basics in two lessons and skied intermediate runs on a first trip, a 36-year-old first-time skier who progressed to skiing green and blue runs at Breckenridge after five lessons, and a 64-year-old first-time skier who purchased a season pass after lessons and observed instruction being provided to people from 3 to 78 years old in both skiing and snowboarding.
