Frequently Asked Questions
Is it similar to skiing/snowboarding on snow?
Yes, if you can ski or snowboard on the indoor slopes, snow will be a piece of cake!
What makes Happy Ski School special?
Besides having the largest indoor mountain in Texas? Happy Ski School is special because you learn on your time and at your pace. We don’t restrict you to a pre-set lesson plan or schedule. Whether you choose our individual lessons or a class, an experienced coach will work with you to progress as quickly or slowly as YOU want.
How long is the class/session?
Each class is 40 minutes long.
What if I want to book two (or more!) people in the same lesson?
If two or three kids or adults want to share the same lesson time, we’re happy to accommodate! It’s always fun to learn in a group. Each person will need to buy a lesson or redeem a session from a package.
Can a parent and child share the same lesson?
Yes! Absolutely! Learning together as a family can be a priceless memory, and we encourage families to book together for this exact reason. Plus, a mother/son, father/daughter, parent/child, or even grandparent/grandchild lesson can be extra fun for everyone involved.
I purchased a package. How do I book my lesson?
After you pay for the package, you’ll book each lesson just like you would if you bought a single session – you will not be charged an additional $99. You’ll instead “redeem” your package session at checkout.
A more detailed review: Go to the “book now” page. Select “Individual Private Ski/Snowboard Lesson” and hit continue. Pick an available date and time that’s convenient. When you get to the checkout, select “Click to redeem from Package.” Book and confirm – we’ll see you on the mountain!
Any trouble? Just shoot us a text or email, or give us a call. We’re always happy to help!
What should I wear?
Pants are recommended when learning on our dry ski surface, and some comfy socks will make the session even more comfortable. Although we will provide helmets, you’re free to bring your own if you’d prefer. No need for gloves or any winter gear – it’s always the perfect temperature indoors!
I'm an adult, and I've never skied or snowboarded before, how many sessions should I book?
4 classes usually do the trick.
Do you have any fun events or other special nights?
Yes! Check out the calendar – certain Friday and Saturday nights are reserved for “Date Nights” – an adults only ski experience where you and your special someone have exclusive access to the mountain and our experienced coaches for the most unique date night in Texas. Keep an eye out for other fun events for both kids and adults coming up this summer!
Do you work with kids of all ages?
Our coaches are great with kids and love to pass the love of skiing and snowboarding to the next generation. Generally, kids as young as two or three can enjoy and learn new skills; however, our experience is that kids usually do best if they are at least three years old when they begin lessons. Parents have full visibility of the lesson for the entire lesson – no need to sit in a lobby watching from a screen; you get to experience your kid’s progress in real time.
