The Echo Mountain Ski & Ride School offers affordable learning programs and quality instruction for skiers and riders of all ages and ability levels – all only minutes from Denver. From the basics of skiing and snowboarding to the art of freestyle jumps, jibs and rails, Echo Mountain teaching professionals are committed to providing the skills necessary to build confidence and achieve every student’s skiing and riding goals.

LEARNING AREAS
Echo’s newly expanded Learning Center One (LC1) is designed for first-time skiers and riders. A gentle slope complemented by a Magic Carpet® surface lift provides the ideal environment for learning the basics of skiing and snowboarding.

As your skills and confidence develop, Learning Center Two (LC2) provides designated terrain for initiating turns and holding an edge. The Frog Legs handle-tow surface lift provides access to progression terrain as you build confidence and further develop your skills.
