"Tussey is a great place for the children to learn how to ski. It offers a fantastic way for the whole family to enjoy the winter in State College."

-Andrea Brandimarte

Want to learn how to ski or ride? We've got you covered at the Tussey Mountain Snowsports School. We provide group, private, and semi-private classes to the general public, as well as school group lessons for kids ages 4-18 as well as Penn State Kinesiology classes!

Public Group Lessons

Everyday we provide public group ski and snowboard lessons, including tele-skiing and snowblading. Weekend lessons are at 11AM, 1PM, 3PM, and 6:30PM. Weekday lessons are at 1PM, 3PM, and 6:30PM. Adults $20.00, ages 12 and under $16.

Private Lessons

Often times it will benefit you to work one on one with a trained instructor. When you're in a private lesson, your instructor can tailor the lesson specifically around your needs or interests. Adults are $35.00/hr and Kids 12 and under are $31/hour. We do offer extended hours and added person private lesson at a reduced rate ($16).

Private lessons or semi-private (more than one person) can be scheduled at the office. Don't forget to reward our professional ski instructors by referring them to the office for your own private lesson!
