Pro tip: wear layers! The weather can shift from sunny to chilly pretty fast. I regretted wearing just a t-shirt when the wind kicked in.

If you can, buy your lift passes online in advance. I saved quite a bit by avoiding those ticket lines at the resort

I recommend starting your day at around 8:30 AM so you can snag good parking and hit the slopes before the crowds arrive. It makes a huge difference!

If you’re able, arrive about 30 minutes early to fill out forms and get prepped. I ran a bit late and felt rushed, missing some of the best info from the instructors

I recommend wearing comfortable clothes and sturdy shoes. You'll be surprised how much you move around during the flight. I wore flip-flops, and it wasn’t the best choice.

Don’t skip the photo and video package they offer. I was hesitant, but the footage is absolutely worth it! It makes for great memories and you wouldn't want to miss those epic views.
