Affordable Learning for School Age Children
The Pine Knob and Mt Holly Ski and Snowboard schools collaborate with local schools to create an affordable program for school age children to learn to ski and snowboard. Students develop skills and as they pass each level, they unlock access to new areas of the hill based on their performance. This provides a safe way for students to access the hill and to safely learn snow sports.
Student Club Patch Lesson Program Introduction
Student Club Lessons: Patch Ski Program
The student ski program consists of seven lessons which are about 50 minutes long and are held at 5:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. weekday evenings at Pine Knob and may only participate during their approved/scheduled club hours. Students earn patches and gain access to more runs as they progress. Team teaching is used at Pine Knob for the first lesson. Children must be at least seven years old.
Students receive two group lesson tickets with their student I.D. card and may participate at reduced rates between Monday and Friday from 3:00 p.m. until close (non-holidays). Additional tickets may be purchased at the Ski School Desk.

Student Club Lessons: Patch Snowboard Program
The snowboard patch program is similar to the ski program but snowboarders have their own patches and will not be allowed on the lifts or hills with ski patches (for safety reasons). Group lessons are a fun way to meet other snowboarders while learning with certified instructors. The snowboard program consists of four lessons which are about 50 minutes long and are held at 5:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. weekday evenings at Pine Knob and may only participate during their approved/scheduled club times.
Participants must have a student snowboard I.D. card which allows students to snowboard at reduced rates Monday through Friday from 3:00 p.m. until close (non-holiday). Students receive one lesson ticket with their card and may purchase additional tickets as needed at the Ski School Desk.

Patch Program
All club members agree to participate in a progressive lesson program. Lift tickets are restricted, meaning it is a beginner area ticket (Wonder Carpet lift and Rope Tow) until lessons are passed and patches are purchased. The patches indicate to our lift operators when students are proficient enough to ride on the chairlifts. Skiing and riding with a parent does not entitle a student to ski wherever their parent takes them. The child must pass the appropriate lesson. Lessons are 50 minutes and start at 5:00 or 6:30 p.m. at Pine Knob –or– 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. at Mt. Holly. Please inform your students to stand in line at the flag that corresponds to the color of patch they are trying to earn. They should have their lesson tickets ready. |
