What if it snows when I have lessons reserved?
- All lessons for adults and children will begin on time regardless of the weather

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 secure
file for each individual family, 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 - 18 years of age. Our children's lessons
are structured to encourage young skiers and to 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 child'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.
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.
What if children's group lessons or childcare are not available for my dates?
- If we are not able to confirm a group lesson or childcare 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 eight 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 difference pace and through varying teaching
techniques, it is better not to 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
9:30 a.m. for all children who are booked into group lessons. Ask our Skier Services
Reservations Agent for details.
What will my child eat for lunch and snacks in group lessons or childcare?
- 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 60 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.
