Brundage Mountain Resort is reaching out to attract new people to the sport of skiing by offering a revolutionary new program designed to ensure that they’ll learn to ski. The program is being launched in conjunction with national “Learn a Snowsport Month”.

For a single package price of $149,

prospective skiers aged 11 and up can take as many beginner lessons as they choose this season in order to master the basics of skiing. They are also provided with rental gear for these lessons at no additional charge.

“We want to take the risk out of learning to ski,” said resort spokesperson, April Russell. “Different people learn at different paces, and it’s important to know that you can come back for as many lessons as you need without shelling out more money each time.”

Participants must sign up and take their first lesson before the end of January. Subsequent lessons can be taken any time during the remainder of this winter season at no extra charge. The program is designed to teach people to stop, turn and ride the chairlift at the beginner level, even if that takes several two-hour lessons.

Full details of the program are available here.

“Our snowsports instructors are passionate about sharing the mountain experience with our guests. It’s one that everyone should have. The Learn to Ski Guarantee is the perfect way for us to express this commitment,” said snowsports director, Seth Jacobsen.

Once the new skiers have completed the Learn to Ski Guarantee program, they’ll have the option of purchasing a second package for $199 that gets them three more lessons at the next level, and a 2009-2010 Winter Season Pass.
