After the lesson you may ski/board for the rest of the night. If you don’t have a season pass to Brighton, be sure to select the “lift access upgrade”. If you have a season pass to Brighton, don’t select the “lift access upgrade”, lessons only are $185.

Maeser students, family members, and faculty/staff and their families of all ages 8 and older are welcome. The link to sign up is https://shop.brightonresort.com/l/private-programs/p/maeser-prep-2526
Signups will close two weeks before the first class or whenever the slots are full, whichever comes first. Maeser is not sponsoring this. Transportation to Brighton is not included but the price does include the parking pass for the nights of the program. This is a service provided by Brighton for the Maeser community.
