January is Learn to Ski Month in Colorado, meaning all the state’s ski and snowboard areas are offering deals on helping your loved ones get off on the right ski or board. It (teaching people yourself) can be a really difficult thing to pull off when you’re trying to ski with children, and skiers or riders of varying interests and abilities.

To Learn » Book a lesson » Get the right gear » Don’t push too hard  » Ski the same run over and over » Play with the equipment
