Instructors I had were professional and KNEW how to effectively train and communicate with their groups. I ALWAYS felt safe and beyond well cared for!! I even remember my FAVORITE instructors name 45+ years later!!! (Gary Gunther). I've sent our kids, and all my friends have sent theirs on my recommendation... and they have somehow continued excelling!! If you are looking for a SAFE, effective and challenging environment for you or your children this is by far the PREMIER ski school of PNW. Myself and many of my peers went on to become successful downhill racers and we all attribute our successes and medal counts to the foundation Ski Masters provides!

My mom and brother also instructed with them~ That really says it all! The instructors are incredible, management is very involved and approachable. I took lessons from individuals I later had the honor of working alongside with. Ski Masters is a personable, community centered ski school that I highly suggest to anyone of every knowledge level of snow sports. They have played a major role in why I am in my chosen career path today and has provided me with an incredible amount of personal and experiential growth. I cannot thank their program enough for all they have taught me and the memories I have shared with influential students and staff!

Wish that there was better communication from this…read moreresort when open hours are and when the season opens/closes because conflicting information from what is online vs what staff there tells me. Nice to have more runs for the green level so that I can totally warm up, but I like the blue runs for what they are. Appreciate that there is one freestyle run here, but would not mind if there was more. Staff is helpful and actually addresses concerns, but tend to be caught up in conversation with each other, so u feel a bit pushed to the side. Have to be able to speak up for yourself early on so that you are not just on standby. Parking is fine...just watch for the slush. The cleaners do their best to clear out the snow on the road so u do not have to pull out and use your snow chains.

Our family already invested in season passes, rentals, and it's unknown if we'll get a refund for the registration fees for our concurrent adult and child lessons. Now we're out the cost of equipment rental and season passes and still are unable to get into a ski school :( Don't sign up for Mohan even if you see 500/500 spots available. Just move on to another ski school.

In full transparency, I have been teaching for Mohan for 8 years. When my kids were young, I had…read morethem at Mohan and I taught for a couple years. I had to stop but promised myself I would eventually teach again. That was my starting journey with Mohan. Yeas later when my kids were in Middle and High school, the school participated in the Friday night Mohan bus program. I chaperoned the ski bus for 8 years and as soon as my kids were out of HS, I started teaching. What was the draw to Mohan? They really care. Now some of the issues identified here were out of their control, some were in their control and have been addressed. We strive to ensure our students, young and old, have a great experience with Mohan. You have to understand how hard it is to staff 120+ instructors for a 1 month training and 2 month instruction season. Last year I could not teach because of a pinched nerve in my back. It was like not being able to see my closest friends, really family, for a year. Today was the first clinic for instructors for the 24-25 season and it was like coming home. So while we have issues, like other business, we strive for an exceptional experience for our Mohan family and our students. Every year we have students from other ski schools join the Mohan family. Some even become assistants and then instructors. We have multigenerational families that have been with Mohan as instructors and students. We have a lodge on the hill, Pot luck Saturday dinners, HS age instructors can spend Saturday night at the lodge. Each young instructor has a chore in the morning, so we are instilling responsibility and accountability. Come join our family as a student or instructor, I promise you it's a life changing experience you'll never forget.

I know it was a tough ski season in WA state, but this is terrible customer service.

Very disapointing service from a local business that I know has been around for a very long time.

This intermediate terrain had some steep faces and wide terrain to accomdate a crowd of people. There was one day, the winds were blowing up Sun Spot and was blowing snow up the hill, which I was told was not the norm. There were some icy spots but never any rock skiing danger. I did not venture out to Chair 4 where there were two other runs open. I had lunch both days at Midway Lodge. One pulled pork rice bowl and one pulled pork sandwich. Both pork products were juicy and well seasoned, great for a mid day break. There was pleanty of seating inside as well as outside. At the base lodge area, there are multiple places to access the bathroom and getting RFID card was a snap. Just showed them my payment email and was printed a card right away. The lifts were generally fast, and they did show down for the ski schoolers occassionally. Lines were mainly only about 4 to 6 people deep and once you got your lift ticket scan, off you were to sit a spell and enjoy the views. The staff was great, answered questions and nice all around. Since it was early in the season, parking was not a problem and I was always close to the base lodge. I did not try the night skiing, so if you did buy the day pass, you could continue into the night skiing hours if you had the energy. I ended my day bot times in the 3:30 range. I did download the PDF trail map but they also had posted trail maps at certian locations avaliable. As for wifi, this worked at the base lodge area and not at Midway Lodge. Cell service worked at Midway but I noticed a few times my text messages failed to deliver, but on the second try went through. I would return here since Stevens Pass has gotten very busy in the past few years and due to road damage, I opted to try MIssion Ridge, I am glad I did.

I spent a little over $300 today for lift tickets and rentals to teach my nieces to ski. After a…read morefew hours, one of my nieces had frozen toes. I took her back to the rental shop to have her boots adjusted. When I explained to the boot guy, Al, that her feet were freezing, he said, "Well, it's because it's cold." He didn't move to do anything. I told him he needed to adjust her boots. He did. Her feet were fine and toasty the rest of the day. But had I not said anything, he wouldn't have done anything. When I went back later to get the guy's name, I asked a man, Steve, what the boot guy's name was. Steve said, "Well, he's wearing a name tag." I said, "Seriously?" Then he gave me Al's name. I found it interesting that they wanted me to complain to their administrative office. I'm more interested in saving others from the same experience. I doubt their administrative office would do anything. David in Rentals was wonderful. The people on the rope tow were wonderful. But I'm not going to give my money to a resort that treats people the way these guys did us in their rental shop. I'll go to Steven's Pass.

Sophie basically performed a full-binding exorcism on my indecision. I walked in mumbling something like "uhh I ride kinda switch and sometimes hit side hits but also like buttering around," and within five minutes she had narrowed my choices from "all of them" to "these exact three that I won't hate by February." Her product knowledge is scarily good like if bindings had a trivia night, Sophie would win a free lifetime supply and then give half away because she's just that nice. I walked out with premium bindings for less than the "discount" price I was about to pay online (before shipping, tax, and the inevitable regret). 10/10, five stars, two thumbs up, would let Sophie pick my bindings again in a heartbeat.

Heres some suggestions i think they can do better: 1) dont put classes back to back. Allot for at least 5 mins in between as theres always student whose class gets shortened one way or another. 2) allocate the same teacher for a day / time slot / ramp - this is i believe is their biggest issue. There is NO consistency on teachers and teaching style. Its only 20 mins of class, in the 10+ classes we only had 1 teacher that repeated. Except for "pizza" and "french fries", They all use different languages and approach that can confuse kids, especially younger ones. So it feels like a whole relearning the first half of the class. 3) have a way to track student progress or know skillset before class. They barely ask what the student can do, how many classes they had or what to work on. It just wastes a lot of precious minutes to figure it out. 4) dont put beginners in ramp 3. Its smaller, shorter and just makes it more difficult. 5) factor in breaks for teachers and ask them not to use phones during class. Consider time for bio breaks or lunch and imagine how thats done w back to back classes. One of our kids teachers was so distracted w pizza coming, he kept checking his phone and looking at the staff area where food was. And because we document our kids progress, we even have that on video! While there are some really good teachers like David, Ryan or Karla, its really a hit or miss for others. You cannot request a teacher or know who you are gonna get even if you book the same day, time and ramp for weeks even months before. We come back because they are the only ones doing it. But really hope they can work on a couple of areas to make it a better experience for all.

A unique experience in a world of ever-growing automation, Kelly and his team provide a combination of technology and plain ole human connection to bring a person's travel desires to the forefront of their vacation or getaway. Mike and I met up twice to hash out what I wanted to get out of my Euro trip including efficiency of preparation before travel and improvisation during travel. A guide was tailored directly for my trip which provided a mnemonic walkthrough that I could call upon while I traveled. At the same time, the team was able to be respectful of free-time when traveling, i.e. letting spontaneity come and go with a firm backbone to comprise the trip. I am looking forward to seeing where this business will go in terms of accessibility to customers and further building upon unique, personal consulting.
