Private Guides

Whether you are looking to improve your all mountain skills, or want to experience Kirkwood from an insider’s perspective, the best way to spend your day is with a Private Guide or Kids Coach.  Our guides and coaches will help you explore Kirkwood's most legendary terrain (both on and off the trail map) while helping you develop the skills that will take your skiing or riding to the next level.  With an Expedition Guide, you also enjoy priority lift access thru the Ski School line which means no waiting on powder days!  Coming with friends or family? Semi-private guides are also available.  Groups must be 2-5 people of similar age & ability.  Private guides are available on the hour from 9am unless otherwise stated.  Price does not include rentals or lift ticket.  Please plan to arrive early, failure to show up at the scheduled time will result in reduced lesson time and/or forfeit of lesson fees.
