There was one instructor and one volunteer with my son during every lesson. He had about 5 lessons this past season with 3 different instructors and they were all amazing. My son loves music and everyone of them either had music playing the whole time or would sing as they went down the hill. I'm excited to say that near the end of the season he was able to go on his own for awhile. Thank you again to everyone that works with this program. We will definitely be back next season as well as we will check out some of your summer programs.

I was told I'd need to pay just to stand on the staircase and coach, with "insurance" given as the reason, but nobody could explain why payment changes anything if a waiver is already signed. This is a big change from previous visits. Also, the men's restroom was out of order when I was there, and you have to leave the building to use the restroom next door. That's a problem if you're supervising athletes.

This review is for the summer camp…read more I sent my 8-year-old to Woodward Copper's summer ski/snowboard camp two summers in a row, trusting that he would be safe and supervised. Both times, I picked him up severely sunburned, despite packing sunscreen and making it clear it needed to be applied daily. This year, I also discovered he had been watching YouTube on his laptop every night until 11:30 p.m. with no counselor checking in after lights-out. He came home with bloodshot eyes from lack of sleep, and neither he nor the camp contacted me about it during the week. I put a lot of time, money, and trust into sending him all the way from New York to Colorado, and expected at least basic supervision for an 8-year-old. I am extremely disappointed in the lack of oversight, communication, and care shown.

Our instructor Dan was phenomenal at teaching us how to snowboard. He picked up on our differences while learning and showed us how to improve. I enjoyed his lesson so much that I went back another day for a half-day class in which we had the opportunity to go on a chair lift and down a steeper slope with him and practice our turns. By the afternoon, my boyfriend and I managed to do the green run, named endeavor, confidently, thanks to Dan.

It's clear they know how to make kids feel comfortable while also helping them build skills and confidence on the mountain. Every year we put them in atleast one lesson so they remember the basics. The entire process is also very easy to navigate, which makes a huge difference. Especially on that first day when things can feel a little hectic. From check-in to getting them settled, everything runs smoothly and takes away any stress. Another big plus is the pick-up and drop-off location. It's centrally located on the mountain, making it super convenient to get the kids where they need to be and meet up afterward without any hassle, cause some days get very busy.

Some instructors apparently need be reminded they are in a hired role. Their position is to be of service, to follow instruction.

While expectations may be different in class settings, what I've outlined should be the standard dynamic when an instructor is assigned to a family.

Our group ran a little late and I ended up being the only person who showed up, and the staff could not have been more patient or accommodating about it. I was fortunate enough to get what essentially felt like a private ride, which made the whole experience feel very personal. They give you a walkie talkie so they can share updates and explain what you're looking at along the way, which I really appreciated because it made the ride feel intentional and educational rather than just scenic transportation. The snowcat itself is super comfortable and cozy. There are seat belts, thick blankets in the seating area, and the heat kicks on so you are warm the whole time. The cabin has large glass panels on all sides, so you can see the forest, the mountains, and the groomed trails without being exposed to the cold. The ride is very gentle and smooth, and they move at a reasonable pace while being thoughtful about cross country skiers on the trail, stopping when needed to let people pass. I found myself completely mesmerized watching the grooming attachment in front reshape the snow and lay down those perfectly clean parallel ski tracks. We stopped at a historic cabin that had been relocated and rebuilt years ago, and it was cozy inside with a guest book and bits of history to read. I ended up wanting to get back into the snowcat fairly quickly because it was so warm and comfortable in there, and the views from inside were amazing. It was quiet, beautiful, and surprisingly peaceful, and I came away with some great photos on my film camera and a super memorable first snowcat experience.

A day pass is $30, which is a little pricey but ultimately worth it. You can rent snowshoes or Nordic skis for a similar price. My friends and I came here for snowshoeing and had a great time! They have a map which clearly marks the skiing and snowshoeing trails along with their level of difficulty. We did the willow (easy) snowshoeing trail which took about 40 minutes and offered beautiful views, a route under the gondolas and being in the trees with lots of cute squirrels. We left for breakfast and ended up taking the snowshoes on a different trail in town before returning them. The Nordic center is a great place to access fun winter activities in Breckenridge and worth checking out if you're in town!
