Mark and his team of amazing instructors help you hone your ski and snowboard skills at this school. They will show you so many great ways to improve your skills on the mountain. It’s an incredible feeling to learn how to snowboard when you are in Encinitas, California right off the beach. Thanks to Mark, this was #21 of my 57 Adventures in 57 Hours in San Diego. Plenty of parking and lots of other activities to do nearby. I highly recommend this place.

Highly recommend it before going to any snowboard or ski resort! I never snowboard before taking the lessons, I did the 3 lesson package to help learn the basics and get me comfortable enough to hit big bear for the first time! Mark helped me get the scheduling set up.

Mieu taught me all 3 lessons prior to heading up. I had so much fun and felt safe and in control, I was able to do all the beginner slope of snow summit, bear mountain and snow valley! Mieu set me up for success! Not only was I able to be comfortable on heel edge for hours, I got to progress and was able to try toe edge! I fell less than expected while snowboarding, but you know what they say, “if you ain’t falling, you ain’t trying”

So glad with the lesson! Definitely worth it and made snowboarding fun and addicting!

Revolutionary way to learn how to ski or snowboard! Safe one on one instruction with highly qualified instructors! A must visit before hitting the slopes!

I had tried snowboarding once. I'm athletic and have always been able to pick things up quite quickly. It was MISERABLE!

For my husband's birthday this year he wanted to go snowboarding for the first time. He too was convinced he was athletic enough to go without lessons. After my experience and a lot of talking, we decided to save time and money by taking lessons here.

I was skeptical, wondering how similar carpet could be to snow. I was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I had a great time! So much fun with great instructors who focused on our safety, and provided informative tips that really helped us on the mountain.

I cannot recall how many times we said to each other how glad we were that we took lessons here prior to our trip. We had a great weekend up at Mammoth snowboarding. We look forward to more lessons to advance our skills!

Mark and Miu (sorry for misspelling) they were amazing! It was my first time ever snowboarding and Miu was a great instructor. Very informative and taught great etiquette for when I’m on the mountain to help me and others. I live out of state and I wish I had more time to work with her. Mark was also so great, he worked with my boyfriend at the same time and they’re such an amazing team there! 10/10 would recommend.

I signed up for lesson's 1 and 2 for an hour of skiing about a week before I went on my first ski trip of the year. I had only skied a couple of times before about 5 years ago but never took formal lessons (on or off the mountain). Fir (hopefully I spelled their name right) was amazing! I got an hour of 1:1 instruction in a tiny group lessons. By the 30 minute mark, my legs were sore and shaking. Fir allowed me to take breaks as needed and was so encouraging, patient, and kind. The owner of the school was also there as was the former owner and they were both really kind and encouraging especially when my legs wanted to give out on me. My wife and I were able to spend three days in mammoth skiing together in Mammoth. By the third day I tried my first blue run and didn't crash once! I would highly recommend this school to beginners and intermediates as well. My wife found the comments and the tips very helpful for not only herself but for keeping me on the mountain and encouraging me during our trip. Adventure Ski School was pivotal in having a positive experience in Mammoth and in keeping me safe from injuries caused by incorrect technique.

Lessons were very helpful! After 4 lessons I went out to mammoth for snowboarding which was also my first time on snow. I moved to blues on my first day and some blacks on the second. Didn't fall once on the second day. Everyone, me included, was impressed. I'd do at least 3 lessons first time snowboarders.
